Why stealth status complicates O-1A proof

Stealth startups limit public disclosure by design, but USCIS still requires verification. The solution is not secrecy, it is substantiation through controlled disclosure. Applicants must demonstrate impact using market influence without disclosure by presenting verifiable signals: contracts (redacted), audits, pilots, and adoption metrics corroborated by independent parties.

What qualifies as third-party corroboration

Third-party corroboration includes letters from customers (named or anonymized), partners, investors, auditors, accelerators, or regulators who can attest to outcomes. Properly executed third-party impact affidavits explain the nature of engagement, scope of use, and results, without revealing identities when prohibited.

Designing anonymized evidence that officers trust

Anonymization must preserve verifiability. Effective packets include consistent labels (Customer A/B), time-bound engagements, quantified outcomes, and cross-references to invoices, deployment logs, or audits. This anonymized evidence strategy avoids vague claims and aligns with USCIS corroboration standards.
