One of the main requirements of an EB1a visa is that you can provide evidence of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.

The best way to do that is through organic and high-quality press about you or your brand. Unfortunately, there are a few hurdles you have to jump over on your journey to press fame.

Finding press for your visa is not an easy task. It requires knowing a lot about the blogging world or various journalists in your respected field.

Traditionally, a publicist is the best contact to your world of blogs and bloggers. The problem is publicists tend to be expensive and vary in their degree of quality.

In this article, we will explain the key EB-1a visa requirements as well as explain how Promo Panda can help you with getting the press requirements.

So why do I need press?

So why do I need press

Press is usually required to show that you are of extraordinary importance to the United States, and the best way to verify that importance is through third-party, high-quality press through outlets with high readership and quality reassurance.

It is also the case that most of the press needs to be in English and preferably from blogs, magazines or other publications from the United States for immigration officers to ensure that the press coverage is legitamate.

How does one get press?

You can't just snap your fingers and get press overnight.

You need to spend time researching blogs and press outlets, finding ways to promote your work, and doing all of this with ample time before your visa process begins.

If you want to do it yourself you can get press on the internet and through traditional means of press releases, with press outlets publishing interviews with the company, job openings, etc.

You can go directly to a journalist that you admire and share your story and have them review previous work in order to build a rapport.
