Is it possible to demonstrate that your contributions had a positive impact on tech startups?

Yes, under EB-2 NIW you can demonstrate that your contributions generated a positive impact on tech startups, provided you gather concrete evidence. This is not a standalone formal requirement, but it helps support the argument that your work serves the national interest of the United States.

The goal is to connect your work to verifiable outcomes at the companies you collaborated with:

• Publications, media mentions, and awards related to your work.
• Project reports, performance analyses, and case studies.
• Recommendation letters from experts and industry leaders.
• Growth indicators of the startups, such as market expansion, always well contextualized.

The clearer the connection between what you did and the effect it had, the stronger your case file becomes. Since each case is evaluated individually, it is worth verifying the updated requirements with USCIS and preparing your evidence with the support of a specialist.
