I have a portfolio on Behance and Dribbble. Does it help?

Yes, a well-organized portfolio on Behance and Dribbble can help with an O-1 visa petition. It serves as concrete proof of your work and the impact of your projects, especially in design and visual arts, helping to demonstrate the quality and consistency of your results.

It is important to understand its role: a portfolio complements the application, but rarely sustains it on its own. The O-1 evaluation considers a broad set of evidence of extraordinary ability, and a portfolio is one piece of that puzzle, not the entire picture.

• Awards, nominations, and distinctions in your field.
• Publications, features, and recognition from experts.
• Records of the reach and impact of your projects.

To get the most out of it, keep your portfolio up to date and well organized, and pair it with other strong evidence. Since each case is assessed individually, it is worth checking the latest guidelines from the official source (USCIS) and, if possible, reviewing your strategy with a specialist. Be cautious of any guarantees of a certain outcome.
