Is there a specific form to list awards in an EB-1A petition?

There is no USCIS form designed specifically to list awards in an EB-1A petition. Awards and recognitions are included as part of your documentation, organized by you, and not in a separate mandatory template.

In practice, it is the petitioner’s responsibility to present each award clearly and with supporting evidence. The standard approach is to describe the recognition and gather the documents that show why it is relevant within your field.

When assembling this part of the petition package, it generally helps to make clear, for each award:

• Who grants the award and what its prestige or reach is.
• The selection criteria and why it signals excellence.
• Documents that prove you actually received it.

Because the way petitions are organized and official instructions can change, it is worth checking the latest USCIS guidance and, if needed, aligning your evidence strategy with a specialist before filing.
