There is no fixed number of pages of scientific publications for the EB-1. The idea of a correct quantity to submit is a myth: what the review values is the quality and relevance of the material, not the volume itself.

If you have many publications, it is often more effective to select the ones that best illustrate your most significant contributions and the recognition they generated. Excess material of little relevance tends to dilute the review rather than strengthen it.

  • Prioritize the works that best demonstrate your impact in the field.
  • Include abstracts or highlights that help the reviewer understand each contribution.
  • Organize the portfolio in a clear and easy-to-navigate way.

Since each case is evaluated individually, it is worth checking the updated guidelines from USCIS and defining your evidence selection with a specialist.
