Is there an official USCIS spreadsheet to list awards and memberships?

No. USCIS does not provide an official spreadsheet or form to list awards and memberships in an EB-2 NIW petition. Instead, you gather your supporting documents in an organized, clearly labeled manner as part of your evidence package.

Each award or affiliation should be accompanied by the corresponding documentation, for example:

• Certificates, recognition letters, or records from the issuing organization.
• Publications or materials that mention the award or your position in the association.
• A brief description of the context and relevance of each recognition.

While no mandatory template exists, putting together an index or an internal summary that highlights each item helps the officer locate and understand your evidence. It is an organizational tool, not a requirement.

Since instructions may change, always check the latest guidance on the official USCIS website and, when in doubt, seek the support of an immigration specialist to build your file.
