How do I prove I am ‘well positioned’ to develop the project?

Showing that you are ‘well positioned’ to develop the project is one of the central elements of the EB-2 NIW. The idea is to demonstrate that your background supports the promise: you have the track record, resources, and real capacity to carry the proposal forward.

Gather evidence that paints a convincing picture, such as:

• Relevant academic degrees and credentials.
• Experience accumulated in projects related to the field.
• Publications, patents, presentations, and awards in the area.
• Letters from experts attesting to your expertise and the value of your work.

Beyond your track record, it helps to present a clear plan for how your contributions benefit the sector or the U.S. economy, connecting each piece of evidence to the concrete execution of the project. The goal is to show coherence between who you are and what you propose to deliver.

Since each case is analyzed individually, it is worth organizing a consistent dossier and, if possible, reviewing your strategy with a specialist. Check the updated guidelines at the official source (USCIS).
