I want to highlight my sales leadership. Can the USCIS request sales spreadsheets in an EB-1 petition?

Yes. In the EB-1, anyone claiming leadership and exceptional results in sales must be prepared to prove it. The USCIS may request documents detailing that performance, such as sales spreadsheets, reports, and other quantitative evidence supporting the claim.

For that reason, it is best to treat those figures as a core part of the file, not as a minor detail. Well-organized, consistent data backed by reliable sources lends credibility to the narrative that your achievements were truly exceptional.

• Gather spreadsheets and reports that show your results over time.
• Tie the figures to targets, market benchmarks, or team performance.
• Ensure the data is verifiable and comes from credible sources.

Because each case is reviewed individually, it is worth checking the latest guidance from the USCIS and preparing your documentation with the support of a specialist.
