Schedule a consultation →§ 01 — The evidence
What adjudicators require
Extraordinary ability petitions live or die on their evidence. To qualify under O‑1 or EB‑1A, you must satisfy at least three of the ten USCIS evidence criteria — and the most decisive ones require a documented public record: published media coverage, written material you authored, or a formal role judging the work of others in your field.
Most applicants enter the process with real credentials and no verifiable press record. The credentials are not in question. The documentation is. We close that gap — and we deliver everything in the format your attorney needs to build the petition.
§ 02 — Deliverables
What we secure for you
i.
Feature stories, Q&As, and expert profiles in publications with 100,000+ monthly readers. Each placement comes with an editorial verification letter confirming the coverage was merit-based — a distinction USCIS adjudicators look for.
ii.
Expert articles published under your name in industry publications and peer-reviewed journals. These satisfy the written material criterion directly and establish a documented record of authority in your field.
iii.
Invitations to serve as a peer reviewer in a research journal or as a judge on an industry awards panel. One of the clearest ways to satisfy the judging criterion — and among the most difficult to secure without a dedicated team.
iv.
Every placement archived with editor letters, traffic analytics, DOIs for scholarly pieces, and publication verification. Organized and formatted for your immigration attorney — ready to submit with the petition.
§ 03 — Who it's for
Candidates
Your company has received coverage. You have not. USCIS evaluates the individual petitioner — not the product, not the company. We build your personal media record from the ground up.
Recognition in your country of origin is a starting point, not a finish line. For O-1B, USCIS looks for documented U.S. media presence and published critical acclaim. We establish it.
A leadership title and a publication list establish your credentials. Public recognition — verifiable coverage, bylines, expert citations — is what the petition requires. We document it.
§ 04 — Process
How it works
01
We examine your existing coverage, publications, and online presence. You receive a clear picture of what you have and what your petition is missing before we do anything.
02
Based on your field and visa type, we identify the publications, journals, and panels most relevant to your evidence criteria — not a generic list, a targeted one.
03
We pitch, place, and publish. Every piece is merit-based. Nothing is labeled sponsored or advertorial — that distinction matters to USCIS adjudicators, and we protect it.
04
You receive a complete evidence packet: links, editor letters, analytics, and DOIs for scholarly pieces. Organized and formatted for your attorney — no hunting for documents, no missing dates.
§ 05 — FAQ
Common questions
Do I need to be working with UVG on my visa to use Press Coverage?
No. Press Coverage is available as a standalone service. If you are already working with a separate immigration attorney, we coordinate with them directly.
Will my coverage be marked as sponsored or paid?
No. Every placement is earned, not bought. Editorial verification letters confirm that coverage was awarded on merit — a distinction that matters when the adjudicator reviews the evidence.
Which visa types does this support?
We focus on O-1A, O-1B, and EB-1A extraordinary ability petitions. These categories require documented public recognition — the type of evidence we specialize in building.
How long does the process take?
Most campaigns run four to twelve weeks, depending on placement count and your field. We give you a timeline estimate before we begin.
How is this different from hiring a PR agency?
A general PR firm places you in the news. We place you in the publications that carry weight for USCIS adjudicators in your specific field — and we deliver the evidence in the format your attorney needs. The difference is specialization and documentation.
