I have received invitations for collective books, but I have not published yet. Can I use them as evidence?

The EB-2 NIW visa requires demonstrating exceptional abilities and relevant contribution to the United States. Invitations for collective books indicate recognition in the field; however, without confirmed publications, they carry reduced evidentiary weight.

They should be presented as part of a body of evidence, including publications, citations, awards, and recommendations that prove excellence.

Preparing the documentation requires strict attention to current immigration laws, expert guidance, and document compliance. Use the invitations as support, but complement them with other evidence that strengthens the argument of your benefit to the United States.
