Do videos of conferences (webinars) where I acted as a panelist count?

The EB-2 NIW visa is intended for professionals with exceptional qualifications or who have made significant contributions to the national interest of the United States. In this context, providing evidence of recognition and influence in your field can be quite relevant, and videos of conferences or webinars where you acted as a panelist can indeed help to compose your file.

These videos can be useful to demonstrate your expertise, the relevance of your work, and the recognition you have received from other professionals in the area. However, it is important to remember that they must be accompanied by additional documentation. For example, certificates, event programs, letters from experts endorsing your participation, and any statements that corroborate the impact of your contribution. The goal is to show, in a robust manner, that your scientific or professional performance is relevant and that you have, in fact, contributed to the national interest of the US.

It is always worth emphasizing that the proof must be clear and organized, as the analysis is done case by case. Furthermore, complying with all immigration laws and regulations is essential for the process. Seeking the support of specialized professionals – avoiding miraculous promises or marketing campaigns that guarantee quick results – is an important precaution to ensure that all documentation and strategies adopted are in full compliance with the requirements of the immigration authorities.
