What Goes Into a National Evidence Report?
A section-by-section explanation of NIW Guru's National Evidence Report structure.
Background snapshot
The report begins by organizing the petitioner's education, field, role, representative work, and submitted materials.
This helps reviewers understand what evidence is available before evaluating any argument structure.
Federal-priority research table
The report then organizes relevant primary sources with URLs, themes, source notes, and links to petitioner-specific evidence.
Source tables make it easier to check whether a proposed connection is grounded in the record.
Options, gaps, and questions
The final sections usually include proposed-endeavor options for review, missing-evidence notes, and questions to raise with a licensed attorney.
Those sections are review aids. They are not legal advice, filing recommendations, eligibility determinations, or approval predictions.
