Can I include newspaper articles about my work?

Yes. In the EB-2 NIW, newspaper articles about your work are welcome: they help demonstrate recognition and visibility in your field, which strengthens the argument that your contributions are relevant.

For these articles to carry weight, pay attention to their source and context. Ideally, they should make clear who you are and why your work deserves attention.

• Prefer reliable and established outlets, not sources of questionable credibility.
• Ensure the articles include clear information: date, authorship, and context of the publication.
• Include an English translation when the article is in another language.

News coverage works best when combined with other evidence, such as publications, letters from experts, and documentation of your professional track record. Since each case is evaluated individually, it is worth checking the updated guidance (USCIS) and organizing your materials with specialized support.
