The inner circle includes those they have directly worked with either in academia or In business.

The USCIS expects a foreign national to be able to Identity the outer circle of people who may recommend the foreign national. This inckides people/arganizations that are familiar with the foreign nationals work but may have not met the foreign national We have found that USCIS takes the position that an Individual with sustained national or international acclaim should be able to produce ample unsolicited materials reflecting that acclaim, Therefore, NIW (National Interest Waiver) recommendation letters/reference letters from independent and outside sources carry more weight because they are proaf ofthe petitioner's accomplishments. Ifa petitioner's contributions are not praised widely outside his or her current and former circle of acquaintances, then it cannot be concluded that he or she has earned sustained national ar international acclaim or is truly ‘exceptional or outstanding.
