I have significant cash flow from American clients. Can it serve as evidence?

Yes, significant cash flow from American clients can serve as supporting evidence in an EB-2 NIW petition. It signals that your work has real demand in the U.S. market and that there is concrete recognition of what you deliver.

It is important to understand the proper weight of this evidence: the EB-2 NIW does not evaluate revenue as a criterion in itself. The focus is on the merit of your work and its importance to the country. Revenue helps tell that story, but it does not replace a demonstration of relevance and impact.

For that reason, the ideal approach is to combine financial records with other elements that reinforce your case, such as:

• Recommendation letters from experts and clients.
• Publications, patents, awards, or distinctions.
• Evidence of adoption, reach, or influence of your work.

Since each case is evaluated individually by the competent authority, it is worth reviewing the updated requirements from USCIS and organizing your evidence with the support of a specialist.
