The Allowed Comparable Evidence EB1 Outstanding Professor or Researcher Petition

Hi William,

For
EB1 Outstanding Professor or Researcher petition, what is the allowed comparable evidence to establish the beneficiary's eligibility, if the EB-1B standards do not readily apply?

Answer,

A petitioner for an outstanding professor or researcher does not need to establish that a particular standard is not readily applicable to the beneficiary's occupation. Instead, the petitioner may submit alternative, but qualitatively comparable evidence.

The existing evidentiary standards serve as a roadmap for determining the quantity and types of evidence that should be submitted in order for such evidence to be considered “comparable.”
USCIS will determine if the evidence submitted is comparable to the evidence required for EB1 Outstanding Professor or Researcher.

The examples of
comparable evidence include important patents and pretigious, peer-reviewed funding grants.
