My company abroad has no website. Can I send articles of incorporation and local registration?

Yes. The absence of a website does not prevent you from documenting your foreign company in an EB-1 petition. Articles of incorporation and local registration are good starting points because they establish the legal existence and structure of the business. The key is assembling a set of documents that, taken together, make the operational reality of the company clear.

Legal documents alone prove the company exists, but do not always show that it operates. For that reason, it is worth supplementing them with evidence of concrete commercial activity.

• Financial statements, contracts, and invoices that demonstrate real operations.
• Institutional materials, publications, or public records about the company.
• Certified translations into English when a document is in another language.

Organization and consistency carry significant weight in the review. Because documentary requirements can vary by case, it is advisable to check the latest USCIS guidelines and review your file with a specialist before submitting.
