Something to keep in mind for EB-1A sustained acclaim? (based on a recent EB-1A AAO decision from February of this year)

Relying on recent evidence (especially in the few months before you file) can potentially get you questioned on sustained acclaim.

In this decision, the recency of the petitioner's evidence was specifically highlighted and questioned for whether it actually showed the petitioner's sustained acclaim.

Here is a link to the full AAO decision: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/B2%20-%20Aliens%20with%20Extraordinary%20Ability/Decisions_Issued_in_2026/FEB262026_02B2203.pdf

For those of you who are targeting authorship and judging and are interested in AI research, you may want to look into publishing short papers in top AI conferences or conference workshops (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, etc.).

By getting published in these venues (that already get a lot of media coverage and attention in the industry), you can show that your expertise is recognized by other top professionals in your field and have received the kind of acclaim that does indicate that you have risen to the top of your field.

Getting involved in top AI research venues can also help you stand out for more roles in AI and help with your professional development.

Also, I now work with a highly cited professor in AI and we are looking to relaunch an authorship course (in the last cohort, members published 6 papers in AAAI, IEEE, etc. and peer reviewed for NeurIPS, IEEE conferences, etc.).
