What documents prove that your health innovation has the potential for global adoption?

In the EB-2 NIW, proving that your health innovation has global adoption potential is not about a single document: what matters is a set of evidence that, taken together, indicates broad relevance and applicability, always evaluated on an individual basis.

Documents that typically help:

• Academic publications and citations, signaling recognition by the scientific community.
• Patents and intellectual property registrations, pointing to originality and the possibility of use in different contexts.
• Awards and recognitions that demonstrate impact.
• Letters from renowned experts about the reach of the innovation.
• Evidence of international collaborations and funding.

The key is to present everything in an organized way and connect each item to the broad benefit the innovation can bring, without promising results. Since each case is analyzed individually, it is worth consulting updated USCIS guidance and seeking support from a trusted professional before filing a petition.
