Is it useful to include spreadsheets or statistical results from my work?

Yes. In the EB-2 NIW, spreadsheets, charts, and statistical results can be quite useful because they translate the reach and impact of your work into concrete, measurable terms. They help the adjudicator see your contributions in a clear and objective way.

These materials serve as supporting evidence: they are not a formal visa requirement, but they reinforce your case narrative when they demonstrate, for example, growth, the efficiency of a method, or the adoption of something you developed. Their weight depends on how well they connect to the central argument of your petition.

• Favor clear data with traceable sources and methodology.
• Contextualize each result: what it measures and why it matters.
• Ensure that everything is accurate and verifiable.

Since each case is evaluated individually, use this data to complement (not replace) your other evidence. If you are unsure what to include, consult USCIS guidance or a specialist to assemble a coherent set of supporting materials.
