Should recommendation letters be sent directly to USCIS?

When it comes to “O” visa petitions, it is essential to understand the role of each document that makes up your package. The process involves submitting various elements that demonstrate the applicant”s extraordinary abilities in their field, and recommendation letters are one of these fundamental pieces.

Regarding recommendation letters, they are normally part of the set of evidence sent to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) along with the main petition. This means they are not sent separately nor “directly” to the agency in an individual letter. Instead, they should be organized and included in the complete package of documents submitted by the petitioner or representative, which can be the applicant themselves or the employer, depending on the case of the “O” visa.

It is important to remember that every detail of the petition must follow the guidelines established by USCIS. Thus, all letters and supporting documents need to be presented cohesively and completely, respecting the specific requirements of the process. It is always recommended to carefully read the official instructions available or seek assistance from reliable immigration sources to avoid having important details neglected.

Finally, always follow United States immigration laws and be cautious with promises of guaranteed results, as well as with suspicious marketing campaigns that may offer miraculous solutions. Seeking information from specialized and trusted sources is an essential step to avoid complications in your process.
