Can I help someone draft a recommendation letter that will endorse me?

When it comes to immigration processes like the EB-2 NIW, recommendation letters are important documents that can highlight your skills, achievements, and contributions to the national interest of the United States. Generally, these letters should reflect the sincere and independent evaluation of professionals or academics who know your work well.

You can, indeed, help someone who will endorse you, but it is essential that this help is limited to providing information or a summary of the most remarkable points of your accomplishments – never the complete drafting that compromises the authenticity of the author’s opinion in the letter. Ideally, you should share your professional background, publications, projects, and other evidence of your relevance, allowing the person writing the letter to address these aspects in a personal and genuine manner.

Thus, the endorsement will be perceived as an independent and honest evaluation, which is crucial for the immigration process. Always remember the importance of complying with US immigration laws and acting transparently. It is recommended that you consult specialists or professionals in the field to avoid any risk of irregularity.

Furthermore, be wary of companies or marketing campaigns promising miracle results without proper specialized analysis, as the complexity of the process requires a careful and well-founded approach.

In summary, collaborating by providing information can be helpful, as long as the content of the letter remains authentic and reflects the personal opinion of the recommender. Make sure your role supports the communication of relevant facts, while the final writing is done by the endorsing professional.
