PP RD: Nov 3rd

AD: Nov 15th
485 still pending ...
Background:
US PhD in biomedical research
English journal articles: 20+
Independent citations: 300+, including 10 books and 30 reviews
Media report: one 2nd authored paper was reported by Sciencedaily, ABC news,
ScienceNow, and many others
Reviewer: 18 for journals, 50+ abstracts for an international conference
Working as a fellow in a national lab
Submitted NIW in 2007, so all recommedation letters were back dated in 2007
(7 letters with 2 independent)。我那个时候用了一个local的律师,真是帮得很少
水平有限。所以这次决定自己动手。
Claimed: Contribution (including media report), authorship, review, and
critical role in a famous organization
希望大家祝福485一切顺利。只有20个包子,等485批了给大家发!
心得:
1)在本版上学习的几个月让我受益匪浅,把大家提到的十八般兵器都用上了。特别感
谢shhyoung的 sample letter. I followed his/her every detail and even the
color scheme. 那个算杂志top percentage 的方法特别有用。不过我没用SAS,只是在
JCR上把几千个journal按5-year impact factor 排序,然后用rank除以总数罢了。差
不多在1%就算top 1%,IF 7,8 的就算top 5%。
2)一直在犹豫要不要claim工作的 critical role. I carefully read the new USCIS
guideline last month. http://www.nafsa.org/uploadedFiles/InterimKazarianGuidance.pdf 觉得在工作中虽然不是老板,但claim critical role 还是可行的。“The evidence must establish that the alien has been a leader or has somehow contributed in a way that is of significant importance to the outcome of the organization or establishment’s activities. A supporting role may be considered “critical” if the alien’s performance in the role is (or was) important in that way.” 找到年终评语,job description,上面都有 critical 的字样。另外一个重点在于“the organization or establishment must be recognized as having a distinguished reputation” 找了各种网页和评论来证明这个问题。
3)Final Merits Determination 其实就是要总结前面几条里的闪光点。与其让IO自己
去找,不如我们明明白白地写出来。所以在最后总结了两条。It is very simple but
important:
A. I have established myself as one of the very top research scientists in
my field of endeavor
闪光点1,2,3,...要突出top 的字眼
B. I have received sustained national or international acclaim and
recognition for achievements in my field of expertise
用citation, review, independent letters (both from other countries) to
emphasize "sustained" and "international"
祝大家节日快乐,申请早日通过。 |

s******t 发帖数: 3572 | 9 你的其它三条太强了。所以没有critical role的申请,也是能过的。如果你要靠criti
cal role来满足三条,你这个思路还是比较悬的。但是呢,因为你现在其它三条满足,
uscis又搞两步法,这个时候说点critical role 我觉着说不定对总体印象有一定加分。
anyway, 恭喜恭喜。

有人问到critical role具体怎么写的。我把大概的格式放在这。也许象superant说的
,这项有点悬,但我想至少证明我现在和今后都要在这里工作,这样另外一条IO在RFE
里常问的“prove that you will continue to work in your field in the US” 就
水到渠成了。
Finally, my extraordinariness also exists in my employment in a critical or
essential capacity for an organization that has a distinguished reputation.
Due to the outstanding quality of my research ability, I am currently
appointed as…
1.I am working for an organization that has a distinguished reputation.
介绍LAB的各级组织和老板都如何有很高的reputation
2.The research topic I am working on is important to …
说明正在进行的研究nationally有多么重要。引用老板们的推荐信。
3.I am uniquely qualified for this job position
说明我的学术背景是这个工作特别需要的。这个unique的字样在我的position
description中有。
4.I am playing a critical role in the projects carrying out in my lab
position description 中有lead, critical的字眼,都用上。注意一定要有“成就”
的描述,USCIS强调要在有outcome的activity中起关键作用. 再用老板们的推荐信来加
强可信度。
最后提到my performance evaluation. 我恰好有老板的评语,其中有critical,
exceptional。highlight一下作为结束语。
这一项费了我很多心思,写了将近五页,最后应该还是有点用吧。谢谢了! |
