EB-1 salary criteria — how to describe the portal 'Город работ'?

How did people describe the portal ‘Gorod Rabot (Город работ)’ for the salary criterion? Is the information from the ‘About the Project’ section sufficient, or do you need to attach anything else? I’m interested in what exactly USCIS counts as evidence from this source.

One source here is a bit weak — I’d include HH (HeadHunter), SuperJob and Rosstat (Росстат) alongside.

Regarding Gorod Rabot (город работ): the officer needs a screenshot of the methodology and a concrete figure for your role in the region; ‘about the project’ is a marketing page, not evidence. Solo looks weak — in a stack with Rosstat and HeadHunter (hh) it’s fine.

Methodology is what decides here - the officer isn’t looking at a pretty website, but at the specific number for your position in your region plus the source of the methodology. Rosstat (Росстат) updates its data once every two years, in October - that’s a normal primary source, and you can additionally request a certificate from them by position and region. hh and Superjob issue paid certificates; hh is more expensive but the wording is more detailed, one Gorod Rabot (gorod rabot) is really not enough.

Here’s another option — you can order a certificate from Rosstat directly for your position and region; that’s stronger than any screenshot from the site. Also, there’s stats.hh.ru — they have separate analytics. Piled together with the rest it looks convincing; the officer can see that you gathered things from different sources.
