Can your professional background include consulting for digital transformation of public institutions?

Yes. Consulting for the digital transformation of public institutions can be part of your professional background for the EB-2 NIW. It is worth clarifying, however, that no specific type of experience is a formal requirement of the visa: this work functions as supporting evidence, evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

The EB-2 NIW is a pathway for qualified professionals whose work tends to benefit the national interest of the United States. In this context, working on the modernization of government agencies helps demonstrate the reach and practical relevance of your contributions.

To turn this experience into consistent evidence, gather materials that document the results and importance of your projects, for example:

• Recommendation letters from supervisors, partners, or relevant authorities.
• Performance reports and indicators that show the outcomes achieved.
• Publications, conference presentations, and official recognitions.

Each case is analyzed individually by the competent authority, so it is worth verifying updated requirements with USCIS and assessing your profile with a specialist before filing.
