USCIS Issues New Guidance on EB-1 Eligibility Criteria for Individuals with Extraordinary Ability

USCIS issued new guidance on the types of evidence that can be used to establish eligibility for EB-1 classification. The guidance: confirms USCIS will consider team awards under the nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards criterion; clarifies that past memberships are considered under the membership criterion; removes language suggesting press must demonstrate the value of the individual’s work to satisfy the published material criterion; and explains it will only consider non-artistic exhibitions as part of a properly supported claim of comparable evidence.
