What if I am not the main author, but the main speaker in the presentation? Does it help?

The EB-1 visa is known for being intended for individuals who possess extraordinary abilities or notable achievements in their fields of expertise. This category requires concrete evidence demonstrating national or international recognition and significant contributions in the professional field.

Regarding your question, being the main speaker in a presentation can indeed add value to your application. This role shows that you were selected based on your credentials and experience to represent your area of work, which strengthens your outstanding profile.

However, United States immigration requires a comprehensive analysis of the entire body of evidence presented. Thus, participation as the main speaker would be considered one of the elements that demonstrate your professional relevance and recognition, even if you are not the primary author of the documents or studies presented.

It is important to remember that every aspect of your career must be carefully documented, showing impact and relevance in your sector. Factors such as awards, publications, leadership in large-scale projects, and other prizes and recognitions are also elements considered when evaluating an extraordinary profile.

Therefore, gathering a variety of evidence that complements your participation as a speaker can strengthen your case. I always emphasize the importance of following United States immigration laws and seeking information and guidance from reliable sources. It is crucial to be aware of promises of quick results and dubious methods that may appear in marketing campaigns.

Seeking specialized advice and verifying the reliability of the information can help avoid risks and structure a strong and appropriate application for the EB-1 program requirements.
