Smart Green Card Press Support: Secure organic press coverage for EB1A
When your work is covered in the press, it shows that your contributions are significant and impactful to the field. This coverage serves as evidence to strengthen your EB1A profile.
Furthermore, press coverage independently validates your achievements and contributions, thereby enhancing your EB1A petition.
In this blog, we delve into the requirements for EB1A published material criteria, the significance of organic press in EB1A applications, and the press support offered by the Smart Green Card program. We also clarify whether hiring PR firms is effective for obtaining EB1A press coverage.
EB1A Published Material Criteria
To fulfill the EB1A published material criteria:
- The press coverage should highlight your achievements and contributions to the field rather than those of your employer’s work.
- Additionally, the coverage should be published in major publications. USCIS assesses factors like readership, circulation, and target audience to determine the significance of the publication.
Can You Hire PR Firms to Obtain Press Coverage for EB1A?
Many recommend employing a PR newswire firm to secure press coverage for EB1A. However, paid press coverage lacks legitimacy and it is not acknowledged by USCIS as evidence to meet the EB1A published material criteria.
When engaging PR newswire firms, they typically offer newswire-type services: either you or the PR firm drafts a narrative about your work, which they then distribute to thousands of media outlets. However, only a few may pick up your story and publish it.
As a result, the same content appears across various media outlets, suggesting that paid activity was involved in obtaining this press overage. Consequently, USCIS does not accept it as evidence for your EB1A application. Whereas, organic press coverage demonstrates your extraordinary ability in the field.
How Does the Smart Green Card VIP Plan Help You Secure Organic Press Coverage?
The Smart Green Card VIP plan includes a dedicated press support team to assist you in obtaining organic press coverage for EB1A. Here, we provide insights into how our in-house press team operates to secure such coverage:
1. Crafting a Narrative: Our in-house press team works with VIP clients to craft compelling stories that highlight their achievements and contributions to the field. These narratives are tailored to align with journalist interests and current trends. Also, we request clients to review the content to ensure technical accuracy.
2. Pitching the story to journalists: Afterward, we pitch your story to over 1000 renowned journalists, utilizing our extensive network. We don’t influence the journalist’s decisions; they select content based on their interests. In this organic approach, there’s always a journalist interested in one story or another, so they feature it.
This method requires time and effort. We undertake this concurrently while you are building your EB1A profile.
3. Major media publications: Our team assists you in obtaining organic press coverage for EB1A from major media outlets, with at least one outlet having a minimum of 7.5 UVPM (unique views per month). UVPM serves as a metric for assessing the media’s significance.
Conclusion
Remember, organic press coverage serves as a evidence to satisfy EB1A press criteria and establish that you are one of the small percentages of people who have risen to the top of your field.
Additionally, the majority of PR newswire firms don’t follow the organic way of securing press coverage, as it requires more time and effort.
I hope this blog provides you with clarity on the type of press coverage for EB1A.
In the Smart Green Card VIP plan, we help you leverage your expertise to build a compelling EB1A profile. If you are seeking hands-on assistance to maximize your chances of success, discover the Smart Green Card VIP plan.
