Interviews and Features: When media undertakes interviews or features a piece on your work as part of the stories belonging to a particular industry, they are particularly effective.

Articles and Publications: Publication in good magazines, journals, or online publications can greatly help your visa application, primarily if they discuss your achievements or contributions.

Press Releases: If you have done some significant projects, awards, or events, then release a press release that could attract journalists to talk about it.

Online Platforms: Coverage on influential blogs or digital media platforms pertinent to your industry can carry more weight, especially when the said platforms are credible in your relevant field.

Don’t Use Paid or Sponsored Articles: Paid or sponsored articles often lack the editorial credibility required for EB1-A applications.

Don’t Focus on Non-Specific or General Accomplishments: Media coverage for EB1-A should specifically highlight accomplishments that demonstrate your extraordinary skill level, not general achievements that could apply to many in your industry.

Don’t Overstate or Fabricate Achievements: It’s essential to provide an accurate account of your work. Any exaggeration or overstatement may backfire
