✦Why this matters
Each category maps to a USCIS criterion
EB-1 requires meeting at least 3 of 10 criteria. O-1 requires 3 of 8. Our catalog covers every key criterion — and we help you figure out where you're already strong vs where you need to push.
📰
Press coverage
Published material about you — one of the strongest criteria for EB-1A and O-1. We know which outlets USCIS accepts without question and which trigger an RFE.
🏆
Awards & judging
National and international awards. Judging in expert panels is a separate criterion — we connect you to active competitions and panels.
🎓
Authorship & membership
Peer-reviewed publications and selective association membership. Closes two criteria at once.
🎤
Conferences & speaking
Speaking at industry conferences, presenting work — for creative professions and academia. Invitation letters, thank-you documents.
