Regional daily newspaper

Does a St. Augustine Record 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

A Florida daily founded in 1894, in the USA TODAY Network. Depth of history helps the exhibit read as a genuine newspaper.

The angle that works here

Tourism, hospitality, marine or real estate.

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.
