Metropolitan daily newspaper of record

Does a The Journal News (lohud) article count as O-1 evidence?

Short answer

Yes, as a supporting exhibit. It is unlikely to carry the criterion alone.

Our rating: Supporting exhibit. That is our editorial judgement, not a legal opinion — your attorney decides what goes in the file.

Why it counts

The Westchester and Lower Hudson Valley daily, immediately adjacent to New York City and read by a professional, high-income audience.

The angle that works here

Financial services, biotech or education.

What this will not do. One article rarely carries a criterion on its own, and published media is only one of several. We do not provide immigration legal advice and we cannot guarantee USCIS accepts anything. If your attorney says press is not your weakest point, believe them and spend the money elsewhere.
