Eb-1: Participation as a Judge of the Work of Others

If you have participated in judging the work of others, either individually or on a panel, you already have satisfied one such criterion. All you have to do is to provide evidence of such participation along with the application for an EB-1 visa.

Does my participation as a judge in other fields suffice?

Judging in the events/competitions in the fields unrelated to your classification in which you are applying will not suffice the criterion requirement.  

What if I served as a “referee” in a sporting event? Do I qualify? 

Suppose you acted as a referee in a sporting event. In that case, you might not qualify the criteria of judging the work of others because you are not acting as a judge, and the criteria restrict judging the work of others.

Suppose you are a foreign-born looking to enter the USA through an EB-1 visa under the “extraordinary ability” category.  In that case, you should start thinking about how you can get such opportunities. You might have known what events/competitions you should judge, so try to explore, and you will surely get invited to judge someone’s ability, work, or performance.
