In the EB-2 NIW, the strength of Academic Evaluation evidence comes from the quality and traceability of your documentation. The goal is for the examiner to verify clearly that your academic background matches what you claim.
To convey robustness and consistency, gather a complete and well-connected set of documents, such as:
- Diplomas, transcripts, and certificates that document your academic path.
- An equivalency evaluation issued by a recognized institution.
- Certified translations of every document in another language.
- Expert statements that validate the relevance of your credentials.
Presenting everything in an organized way, without gaps or conflicting dates, is what supports the coherence of the overall package. Since each case is evaluated individually, confirm accepted documentation with USCIS.
