In the EB-2 NIW, the amount you paid for evaluations and translations is not an analytical criterion. What truly matters is the reliability of those services: showing they were performed by qualified providers lends credibility to the documents that support your petition.
To demonstrate that qualification, gather evidence that ties each service to a credible, verifiable provider:
- Detailed receipts or invoices listing the provider’s name, address, contact information, and the scope of the service rendered.
- Credentials, certifications, or professional registrations of the translators and evaluators involved.
- References or a track record that confirms established reputation and transparent practice.
Prioritize recognized providers whose work is traceable, which strengthens your file and reduces the risk of challenges. Be cautious of anyone who promises guaranteed results. Because each case is reviewed individually, it is worth checking updated USCIS guidance and working with a qualified specialist.
