How can you demonstrate that the use of digital training platforms is relevant to EB-2 NIW?

Using digital training platforms is not a formal requirement of the EB-2 NIW. The petition evaluates whether your work has sufficient merit and national importance to waive the job offer and labor certification requirements. This type of activity counts as supporting evidence, and it is valuable when you demonstrate the reach and concrete impact of what you do.

The EB-2 NIW is an employment-based second preference pathway in which the applicant can self-petition by showing that their work serves the national interest of the United States. Disseminating knowledge through digital platforms helps build that argument by broadening the audience and accelerating the spread of what you develop.

To demonstrate this relevance, gather materials that convey the reach and impact of your work:

• Participation, engagement, and completion data showing the reach of the trainings.
• Testimonials from participants and partnerships established around your content.
• Publications, certificates, and educational materials you produced and distributed.
• A description of how this work contributes to areas of national interest.

The weight of each piece of evidence is assessed on a case-by-case basis by the relevant authority. Before filing, it is worth verifying the updated requirements at the official source (USCIS) and reviewing your profile with a specialist.
