My patent generated royalties, but I don’t have an official record of the amount. What should I send?

When it comes to an application under the EB-1 visa, which requires proof of exceptional achievements, it is essential to present the most consistent and verifiable documentation possible.

If you have a patent that generated royalties but do not yet have an official record detailing the amounts, it is important to gather and present other documents that can attest to the value and impact of the royalties.

In such situations, you may consider submitting copies of license agreements, distribution contracts, or any official communications that describe the terms of the arrangement and indicate the existence of payments. Bank statements reflecting the deposit of royalties, annual reports, or confirmation from entities that generate these payments can also help build a more robust profile of your performance and earnings related to the patent.

Remember that every case is unique and the availability of supporting documents may vary. Always emphasize the importance of strictly following United States immigration laws, seeking support from reliable sources, and avoiding offers or marketing campaigns promising guaranteed results.

Obtaining official documents and consulting specialized professionals can be decisive in strengthening your application in the EB-1 process. It is important to stress that transparency and truthfulness in presenting your evidence are essential to avoid future complications in the process.

Thus, even if you do not have a complete official record, the more consistent information you can provide, the better the foundation will be for the analysis of your case.
