Which Documents to Submit for a US Talent Visa
For those intending to move to the United States on a talent visa (O-1, EB-1, or EB-2), immigration attorneys suggest focusing on preparing a portfolio of publications. While it is not a strict requirement of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), having articles in professional journals or published books, as well as articles in authoritative publications about your activities, can be crucial for visa application approval.
Let's look at how these publications differ and what to consider.
Scientific Publications in Professional Journals
Goal:
To showcase your expertise and professional accomplishments.
Success Criteria:
- A specialized topic, backed by data
- Targeting a professional audience
- Relevance to your professional field
- Confirmation of your authorship
- Publication in authoritative, peer-reviewed scientific publications (with international identification numbers and scientific citation indices) or major national and international general topic publications
- Adherence to scientific standards (novelty, relevance, references, structure, double-blind review) — this part is particularly important for EB-1 applicants
- Emphasizing your experience and your contribution to the development of your field
Major Media Publications (Interviews, Video Stories, Articles)
Goal:
To demonstrate public recognition of your contribution to your field.
Success Criteria:
- Relevance to your professional activity
- You (not your organization) is the main character or one of the characters in the article
- The authority of the publication (ratings, reputation, audience size, national or international scale) — EB-1 applicants in particular should aim for publications in the largest international outlets
- Highlighting your experience and your contribution to the development of your field
