How can you demonstrate that your experience includes building predictive models for strategic decision-making?

In the EB-2 NIW, demonstrating that your experience includes building predictive models for strategic decisions means showing practical application and real impact, not just technical proficiency. The goal is to connect that work to the merit and national importance that underpin the petition.

Gather documentation proving how these models were used in corporate or academic settings and how they guided concrete decisions. Describe the challenges, the methodology adopted, and the results, always in qualitative terms.

• Project reports, case studies, and publications in specialized outlets.
• Participation in conferences, workshops, or seminars, with certificates and recognitions.
• Recommendation letters from supervisors, colleagues, or subject-matter experts attesting to the impact of your work.

Together, these materials should form a coherent narrative showing your models’ contribution to your field. Since each case is evaluated individually, it is worth verifying the current criteria with USCIS and discussing your profile with a specialist before filing.
