What documents prove skill evaluation in the context of the EB-2 NIW?

In the EB-2 NIW, proving the evaluation of your skills means showing that your competence has been recognized by those with the authority to judge it, not just claimed by you. The idea is to gather external, verifiable assessments of your work.

These documents combine education, output, and recognition, forming a consistent picture of your level in the field.

• Recommendation letters or statements from experts that evaluate your competence.
• Publications, citations, and records of participation in conferences.
• Awards, recognitions, and certifications relevant to your field.
• Diplomas, transcripts, and opinions from reviewers or experts on your contributions.

Since every career is different, the documentation varies according to your field and profile. It is worth checking the current requirements at the official source (USCIS) or with a specialist before filing.
