I want to use client testimonials that show my unique ability. Is that a good idea?

Yes, client testimonials can be a useful element to illustrate the impact and quality of your work in an EB-1 petition, especially when they reinforce that your performance stands out in your field. They help give concrete form to what other documents assert in more technical terms.

That said, testimonials function as supporting evidence, not as central proof. What gives them weight is authenticity and context: genuine statements from identifiable clients, combined with other, more objective proof of recognition.

• Make sure the testimonials are authentic and reflect real experiences.
• Combine them with awards, publications, expert evaluations, and other evidence.
• Present everything in an organized and honest manner, without overstating claims.

In other words, testimonials add value when they are part of a larger, well-founded body of evidence. It is worth checking the updated requirements with USCIS and putting together the file with a specialist.
