National newspaper, major media

Does a USA Today article count as O-1 evidence?

Short answer

Yes — and it is one of the stronger exhibits available at this price.

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

Why it counts

One of the highest-circulation daily newspapers in the United States and immediately recognisable to anyone reading your file. When the criterion says “other major media”, this is the least arguable example of it in the whole catalogue.

The angle that works here

A profile written for a general audience: what you built, why it mattered outside your own industry, and a result a non-expert can understand.

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.
