My articles were republished in another language. Does that strengthen ‘publications by me’?

Having an article republished in another language can indeed strengthen the ‘publications by me’ criterion in the EB-1, provided the connection between the versions is clearly established. The key point is demonstrating that the translated text corresponds to the original work you authored.

When a version in another language fully reproduces your authorship, it shows that your contribution reached a broader audience, which adds value. To achieve this, you need to carefully document the relationship between the two texts.

• Keep both the original and translated versions, with authorship and dates.
• Collect links or statements from the publisher connecting the two publications.
• Show that the translation preserves the content of your original work.

When properly documented, the republication demonstrates the reach of your output. To confirm how to present it, it is worth reviewing the USCIS guidelines and going over your file with a specialist.
