These four apply to narrower profiles. Dr.EB1A evaluates all of them against your evidence and includes any that strengthen your case.
Published Material About You
Evidence of **published material about you (not by you) in professional/major trade publications or major media, relating to your work. What counts: feature articles, interviews, or profiles in real outlets that name you and discuss your work — with the title, date, author, and outlet documented. What fails:** press releases you wrote, self-published content, passing mentions, or coverage in obscure outlets. Dr.EB1A verifies each outlet's reach and drafts the argument that the coverage is about you and your work, not incidental.
High Remuneration
Evidence that you command a high salary or other significantly high remuneration relative to others in the field. What counts: pay documentation (offer letters, W-2s, contracts) benchmarked against reliable wage data (BLS, DOL, or industry surveys) for your occupation and location — the comparison is everything. What fails: a high number with nothing to compare it to. Dr.EB1A pulls the right wage benchmarks and drafts the comparison showing you sit in the top percentiles.
Artistic Exhibitions or Showcases
Evidence of the display of your work at artistic exhibitions or showcases. What counts: for artists — exhibitions at recognized galleries, museums, or juried shows, with documentation of the venue's stature and that your work was displayed. What fails: commercial trade-show booths or non-artistic displays. Narrow to genuinely artistic profiles.
Commercial Success in the Performing Arts
Evidence of commercial success in the performing arts, shown by box-office receipts, sales, or streaming/chart data. What counts: verifiable sales/revenue/ratings figures for your performances or recordings. Applies only to performing artists. Dr.EB1A compiles the sales data and benchmarks it for the field.
