For high-achieving professionals in China, Hong Kong, and Macau, the EB1A visa offers a prestigious path to U.S. permanent residency without the need for employer sponsorship. However, applicants must demonstrate extraordinary ability—including evidence of national or international recognition. One of the most direct and compelling ways to do this is through third-party media coverage in reputable publications.
At China Business Agency, we specialize in helping applicants build credible, strategic media portfolios that meet USCIS criteria, combining high-level editorial development with targeted press placement in leading Chinese-language outlets.
Who We Are
China Business Agency is a Shanghai-based full-service communications and market entry consultancy. Over the years, we’ve worked with hundreds of global clients across tech, arts, science, business, and public affairs, offering services that span: strategic PR planning, high-quality content creation, Mainland China, Hong Kong & Macau media relations, government and public affairs, and campaign localization and execution.
In the EB1A field, we bring this expertise to help individuals demonstrate public recognition and influence through authentic, compliant, and compelling storytelling.
Why Media Coverage Matters for EB1A
USCIS EB1A criteria include:
“Published material about the individual in professional or major trade publications or other major media.”
Key factors USCIS considers:
- Is the outlet reputable and widely recognized?
- Is the content authored by a third party?
- Does the article highlight the individual’s achievements, leadership, or influence?
A strategic media plan helps applicants answer “yes” to all three—building not just coverage, but impactful, persuasive evidence.
