8 CFR § 204.5(h)(3)(iii)

“Published material about the alien in professional or major trade publications or other major media, relating to the alien’s work in the field for which classification is sought.”

The parallel O-1 criterion is at 8 CFR § 214.2(o)(3)(iii).

What counts for a researcher’s petition

Media coverage sits alongside your scholarly record as a distinct evidentiary category.

Major & trade media — Coverage in major media or recognised trade and professional publications in your discipline supports the criterion.
About you and your research — Independent features about your work — distinct from your own authored papers, which satisfy a different criterion.
Documented for USCIS — Delivered with the title, date, author and outlet your attorney needs for the exhibit.

Add the published-material criterion to your case

Editorial coverage about you and your research — recognised outlets, permanent, indexed and citation-ready.
