Can I cite market forecasts from sources like IBISWorld, Gartner, etc.?

The EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa is intended for professionals with exceptional abilities or advanced degrees who demonstrate that their work will bring significant benefits to the national interest of the United States. In such cases, applicants usually present a robust set of evidence to prove their relevance, and including market data can be an important part of this documentation.

You can indeed cite market forecasts from reputable sources such as IBISWorld or Gartner to support the relevance and potential impact of your contributions in your field. However, it is essential that these citations are accompanied by proper contextualization. This means clearly explaining how this data reinforces your qualifications and how your work can positively influence the development of the sector in the United States.

Moreover, it is important to correctly reference the source of the data and, if possible, include additional information that corroborates the credibility of the material used. It is also worth noting that the presentation of any type of evidence in an immigration process must always comply with the laws and guidelines established by U.S. authorities.

Therefore, it is wise to seek specialized guidance, always paying attention to companies and professionals with proven expertise in the field, to avoid mistakes or misleading promises that may compromise the review of your case. Remember that each case has its peculiarities, and the combination of evidentiary elements should be done carefully.

The use of market forecast data can add value to your petition, provided that it is part of a well-structured set of evidence that clearly demonstrates your ability to contribute to the national interest of the United States.
