Can I submit podcasts or radio interviews as evidence in EB-2 NIW?

Yes. In an EB-2 NIW petition, podcasts and radio interviews can be used as evidence of your professional prominence, provided they are relevant and well substantiated. They help illustrate the recognition you receive or the influence you hold in your field.

For these materials to carry real weight, they need to be presented clearly and with proper documentation. Whenever possible, accompany each item with a brief explanation of why it matters and what it demonstrates about the reach of your work.

Like any evidence, they work best when integrated into your overall portfolio rather than submitted in isolation. The goal is for the material to convincingly support the case that your work has impact and attracts specialist attention, both of which are central considerations in the EB-2 NIW evaluation.

Every case is unique, so think carefully about what to include. If you are unsure how to position this type of evidence, consult official guidance or a trusted specialist.
