Do conference videos (webinars) where I participated as a panelist count for EB-2 NIW?

Yes, videos of conferences or webinars in which you participated as a panelist can be part of the EB-2 NIW case file. They help demonstrate your expertise, the relevance of your work, and the recognition of other professionals who invited you to speak on the subject.

The key point is that a video on its own has limited weight. It gains strength when it comes accompanied by documentation that contextualizes your participation and confirms the importance of the event. The goal is to show, clearly and verifiably, that your work is recognized in the field.

• Include the event program and certificates that confirm your role as a panelist.
• Add letters from experts who endorse the relevance of your participation.
• Describe the reach of the event and the audience it attracted.

Each case is evaluated individually, so the more your body of evidence supports itself mutually, the more compelling the argument becomes. It is worth organizing the case file with the support of a specialist and reviewing the updated guidelines on USCIS before filing.
