In the EB-2 NIW, international experience adds value when you demonstrate that your recognition and results echoed beyond the borders of your home country. The differentiator lies in showing real influence, not merely a presence in other countries.
Build a documented track record that evidences this reach and repercussion:
- Publications, awards and recognitions granted by institutions outside the United States.
- Collaborations and joint projects between organizations from different countries.
- Cases where your initiatives influenced internationally recognized practices, policies or standards.
Letters from experts of international standing help attest to this relevance. Link each piece of evidence to the benefit your expertise can bring to the United States and, because each case is assessed individually, check the current requirements at the official source (USCIS) and rely on a specialist.
