How to show that your international experience broadens your profile in the EB-2 NIW?

In the EB-2 NIW, international experience broadens your profile when it shows that your work was recognized beyond a single country and that this reach translates into benefit for the United States. The point is not having traveled, but having generated impact at scale.

Gather evidence that shows that global reach in a verifiable way:

• Work, projects or research with repercussion in several countries.
• Collaborations with leading foreign institutions or teams.
• Recognitions, invitations or publications of international reach.
• Letters from experts in different regions attesting to your impact.

Close by explaining why that global trajectory strengthens the national interest of the United States in your field. Since each case is assessed individually, confirm the current requirements with the official source (USCIS) and review your profile with a specialist before petitioning.
