I have consulting evidence for Fortune 500 companies. Does it count?

Yes, it can count for a great deal. Consulting work performed for Fortune 500 companies is a strong signal that your expertise has been recognized by large, demanding organizations, which helps support the central argument of an EB-2 NIW: that your work has relevance and impact of interest to the country.

This type of evidence gains weight when you demonstrate not only that you provided the service, but what it produced: the problem you helped solve, the scale of what was at stake, and why your contribution stood out. Contracts, outcomes, and letters from those who hired you give that story concrete form.

• Show the scope and importance of the work, not just the client’s name.
• Gather verifiable proof: records, results, and testimonials.
• Integrate this evidence into a coherent body of proof that establishes your merit.

As with any EB-2 NIW, no single piece of evidence decides the case: the analysis is conducted case by case, based on the full record. It is worth consulting a specialist on how to position this experience to best support the national interest argument for your profile.
