In the EB-2 NIW, documenting investments in training (courses, training programs, certifications, and conferences) serves to show how they strengthened your profile and your ability to generate relevant benefits. The point is not to list courses, but to tie them to your work.

The following help support this argument:

  • Certificates and transcripts that prove the completion and content of the training.
  • Programs or syllabi of the courses, detailing what was studied.
  • Letters from supervisors or professors on the effect of the training on your performance.
  • Projects and achievements that directly benefited from this improvement.

What matters most is connecting each investment to your trajectory and to the impact it makes possible, forming a coherent narrative. Because the review is individual, it is worth checking the current requirements at the official source (USCIS) or with a specialist before filing.
