Is it enough to provide screenshots from the award’s official website listing my name for the EB-1?

Screenshots from the award’s official website can help, but on their own they are usually not enough for the EB-1. They serve as supporting material; however, screen images are easy to manipulate or take out of context, so the ideal approach is to back the award up with more robust and verifiable documentation.

The goal is to build a package that proves, beyond any doubt, that the award exists, is relevant, and was granted to you. The more traceable the evidence, the better.

• Official certificates or confirmation letters issued by the awarding organization.
• Direct links to the official source that allow the information to be verified.
• Documents bearing seals, signatures, or other elements that attest to authenticity.

Together, these elements give the screenshot the credibility it lacks on its own. Since each case is evaluated individually, it is worth checking the updated criteria on the USCIS website and organizing your evidence with a specialist before filing.
