How do you prove that your petition reflects a track record of demonstrated results?

In the EB-2 NIW, proving that your petition reflects a track record of results means showing, clearly and objectively, the achievements that support the relevance of your work. That track record should span your professional, academic, or research trajectory and make it evident why your contributions are in the national interest.

Build a set of evidence that documents significant accomplishments:

• Publications in specialized outlets and citations by other professionals.
• Patents, awards, and recognitions received.
• Reports from projects or research with practical application.
• Letters from renowned experts attesting to the quality of your work.

More than listing achievements, the petition must connect that track record to future benefit: explain, in a logical way, how your past results indicate that you will continue contributing to the country. Since each case is evaluated individually by the relevant authority, with no guaranteed outcome, consider verifying the updated requirements with USCIS or with a specialist before filing.
