Membership Letter — Criterion 2 Template
A letter from a selective association or body confirming your membership and — critically — that membership requires outstanding achievement, judged by recognized experts. The selectivity is the point.
This is a scaffold, not a fill-in-the-blanks form. Rewrite it in the signer’s own voice and structure — USCIS discounts letters that share wording or layout. Keep the specifics (metrics, named examples); change everything else.
