Can I cite the impact of workshops or training sessions I led?

In an EB-2 NIW petition, you can cite the impact of workshops and training sessions you led. These activities help demonstrate how your work contributes to your field, whether by disseminating techniques and methodologies or by improving industry practices.

What makes a difference is going beyond a simple mention and showing the results of those initiatives. Some types of evidence that help include:

• Testimonials from participants, organizers, or institutions.
• Certificates, invitations, or records that document your role.
• Data on the reach and impact of the activities.

This evidence works best when it fits into the narrative of your professional background and reinforces the contributions you present as serving the national interest of the United States. Because each case is evaluated individually, it is worth checking the current criteria on the official source (USCIS) or with a specialist.
