My Twitch channel averages 1k views per stream. Is that high?

In the EB-1, there is no audience threshold that alone qualifies or disqualifies a candidate. The visa evaluates sustained recognition and impact in your field, and an average of 1k views per stream on Twitch is just one possible signal within a broader picture.

Whether that number is high depends heavily on your niche, your audience’s engagement, and your consistency over time. A smaller but loyal and influential audience can say more than isolated viewership spikes. What matters is evidence that your work has genuine relevance and reach.

To put that metric in context, it helps to gather other supporting elements:

• Audience growth and consistency over time.
• Recognition from peers, awards, or mentions in specialized media.
• Partnerships, invitations, and other signs of influence in your field.

Because the analysis is done case by case and considers the full picture, it is worth checking the current requirements with USCIS and reviewing your profile with a specialist.
