Letters that say ‘He is very good’ without details. Is it worth it?

When it comes to immigration processes, especially for demanding categories such as the EB-1 visa, the quality and depth of evidence and recommendations are very important.

In the context of this visa, recommendation letters can serve to demonstrate professional achievements and international recognition, but they need to be very detailed to be useful. A merely generic letter, containing only statements like ‘He is very good’, without presenting grounds or concrete data to support this evaluation, will hardly carry the necessary weight to convince the evaluators from the agencies responsible for reviewing your case.

In the EB-1 process, recommendations are expected to include details about the candidate’s specific achievements and skills, showing, for example, measurable results, outstanding projects, awards, or relevant contributions to the field of expertise. It is essential that these letters highlight how the candidate stands out from other professionals and how their contributions are important to the sector.

The lack of specificity can harm the credibility of the document, since immigration officers look for elements that prove the impact and relevance of the candidate’s achievements at the national and international levels.

Moreover, it is essential to strictly follow the United States immigration laws and rely on trustworthy sources of guidance when preparing your case. Avoid being misled by easy promises or services that guarantee results, as reliability and compliance with the rules are fundamental to the success of any immigration process.

In summary, letters limited to vague expressions such as ‘he is very good’ are not enough to strengthen an EB-1 visa application. The ideal recommendation should be enlightening, well-structured, and full of concrete examples that demonstrate the candidate’s contribution in their field of expertise.
