I was interviewed on a ‘major radio station’ in my country. Does it count?

Yes, it can count. In the EB-1, being interviewed by a ‘major radio station’ in your country can serve as evidence of recognition and professional prominence. Appearing in a high-reach outlet helps demonstrate that you hold a relevant position in your field.

The key is that this interview tends to carry more weight as part of a broader body of evidence than on its own. The review favors a well-established track record, with multiple proofs converging toward the same conclusion about your impact.

• Who the outlet is and what its reach and prestige are.
• Whether the interview focuses on you and your work, or is merely a brief appearance.
• How it complements awards, publications, and mentions in other media.

A single appearance tends to carry less weight than a series of recognitions, so it is worth documenting the context of the interview thoroughly. Since the responsible agency (USCIS) evaluates each case individually, check the updated requirements at the official source or with a specialist before filing.
