Meritocrat Platform | USCIS Knowledge Base Response

How does USCIS evaluate “Original Contributions of Major Significance” and how should evidence be presented?

USCIS Concern Summary

USCIS evaluates two core questions under 8 CFR 204.5(h)(3)(v):

• Did the work go beyond routine development or execution?

• Did the contribution have significance to the field as a whole, not only within one employer?

Evidence that only shows participation, internal success, or product development without broader impact is typically found insufficient.
