Can I mention my involvement in diversity and inclusion policies at companies?

Yes, you can mention your involvement with diversity and inclusion policies in an EB-2 NIW petition. This type of work can strengthen your case, but what truly matters is demonstrating that it had a concrete and recognized impact in your field, not merely that you participated in initiatives.

For this point to genuinely add weight, the ideal approach is to show results: projects you led or contributed to, the reach of those initiatives, and why they were relevant beyond the context of a single company.

It is worth gathering documentation that supports this contribution, such as:

• Reports, data, or records showing the outcomes of the initiatives.
• Publications, talks, or coverage that demonstrate recognition of the work.
• Letters from experts that contextualize the impact of your efforts.

The more objective the evidence, the stronger the argument that your work carries broader relevance. Since each case is evaluated individually, it is advisable to verify updated requirements with USCIS and review your strategy with a specialist before filing.
