Journalistic texts about my project were written by me. Is this biased?

The immigration process to the United States, especially under the EB-2 NIW visa category, requires a robust and impartial presentation of materials that demonstrate the relevance and impact of your project. This visa values evidence that supports the importance and originality of your professional contribution, so the way this information is presented can influence the evaluation of your case.

If the journalistic texts about your project were written by you, they might be considered biased, as they reflect your own perspective and opinion. In the context of the EB-2 NIW, immigration officers tend to give greater weight to documents produced by independent sources that can confirm the relevance of the work impartially.

Self-criticism can be seen as a form of self-promotion, and it is essential to present evidence of external recognition – such as citations in other media outlets, expert evaluations, or mentions in independent publications – to reinforce the credibility of your arguments.

Furthermore, it is important to note that, in immigration processes, the entire documentation package must be consistent and transparent. Complying with United States immigration laws is fundamental, and it is recommended to always seek information from reliable sources or consult specialized firms (without, however, guaranteeing or promising specific results) to avoid scams or false promises. This approach helps build a solid case and demonstrates the integrity of the information presented.

In summary, although it is legitimate to use your own texts to complement your documentation, it is strategically advantageous to include evidence produced by third parties in order to strengthen the objectivity and credibility of your project before immigration authorities.
