Sales and revenue report for my best-seller book. Does it work?

Yes, a sales and revenue report for your book, combined with the best-seller designation, can serve as evidence in an EB-1 petition, as it helps demonstrate the commercial reach and acceptance of your work. That said, market success tends to carry more weight when accompanied by signs of recognition within your field.

The EB-1 is designed for those who demonstrate extraordinary ability, and the evaluation values a diverse body of evidence. Sales figures show impact, but they gain strength when combined with evidence attesting to the recognized relevance and quality of your work.

• Submit the sales report alongside documentation of the best-seller designation.
• Add expert reviews, awards, and relevant media coverage.
• Include letters from recognized authorities in your field.

In short, commercial performance is a good supporting element, but it rarely sustains a case on its own. Since each case is evaluated individually, it is worth reviewing updated guidance from the official source (USCIS) and building your evidence package with the support of a specialist.
