My 2 awards were in the same year and from the same entity. Do they count as 2?

When it comes to the EB-1 visa, evidence of extraordinary achievements – such as awards and distinctions – can significantly strengthen your petition. This category has specific requirements and demonstrates that the applicant possesses exceptional skills and accomplishments recognized nationally or internationally.

Regarding your question about the two awards received in the same year and from the same entity, it is important to highlight that, yes, they can be counted as two distinct awards. However, the fact that both were granted by the same organization and within the same period may draw the analysts’ attention for a more thorough evaluation of the uniqueness and individual value of each award.

Therefore, when presenting these recognitions in the EB-1 process, it is essential to demonstrate not only the existence of the awards but also the context in which they were granted, the criteria used to define them, and the implications each had in your professional trajectory. It is worth remembering that the goal is to show that you have reached levels of excellence that differentiate you in your field.

Thus, even with the awards being from the same entity and in the same year, details that show the relevance and impact of each recognition can be decisive for the analysis of your case by the immigration authority.

Finally, I emphasize the importance of strictly following the United States immigration laws and seeking guidance from specialized professionals to avoid potential mistakes, scams, or marketing campaigns that promise guaranteed results. A well-founded and transparent approach is always more effective in building a solid and well-grounded case.
