"the record does not demonstrate evidence as to the implementing or

extensive citation,or other indicators of major contribution to the field.
"it appears that the authors of the letters of support and the beneficiary's

appear to be more indicative of major contributions to the field than the

发帖数: 972 | 10 上面有个哥们说的不对，移民局常拿推荐人和申请人的成就来比较，然后拒掉你，下面
的引用出自2010年1月13号的上诉办公室（AAO）的判例（Jan132010_04B2203），第14
页。这种比较，在2010和2011年的判例中屡次出现。
While this evidence may distinguish him from other postdoctoral researchers
receiving advanced training in a university setting, we will not narrow his
field to others with his level of training and experience.
A comparison of the petitioner's positions and achievements with those of
his superiors at the University of Arizona and Indiana University indicates
that the very top of his field is a level above his present level of
achievement.
For example, AAA is a Professor of Optometry and Director of the Borish
Center for Ophthalmic Research at Indiana University, has authored well over
100 scientific publications, serves on the editorial board of Investigative
Ophthalmology and Vision Science, and is a Fellow of the Optical Society of
America. BBB is Professor of Optical Sciences and Director of the Optical
Data Storage Center at the University of Arizona, has authored more than 150
refereed papers in major scientific journals, has seven United States
patents, and is a fellow of both the SPIE and the OSA.
Thus, it appears that the highest level of the petitioner's field is well
above the level he has presently attained. |

发帖数: 6523 | 12 xzchina has explained it well that it means that 移民局拿推荐人和申请人的成就来比较，然后拒掉你. This time, not only your references, but also your co-authors are mentioned to be more significant than you.
"it appears that the authors of the letters of support and the beneficiary's co-authors have published works and publication records that are significantly more extensive than that of the beneficiary, which would appear to be more indicative of major contributions to the field than the beneficiary's publication record".
This is not a new trick, some IDs have reported such cases before.
The key comparison that the IO mentioned was the number of publications. It is a hard evidence, so perhaps there's nothing much you can do about this number.
But, you can try to get some letters to say that your level of publications is far exceeding other people, or the average of your major.
Meanwhile, try to find letters to prove the usefulness or impact of your work. It seems that the IO didn't find any evidence on this before, and this evidence can be provided this time by letters.
1. Find the people who have cited your work to say that they were inspired by your work in certain way, and they published in xxx.
2. If you have collaborated with some company or government agency before, you can find letters from there to say that your work has been adopted by them and they are making products, etc out of that.
3. If there used to be some inquiries on your work, even if they didn't cite your papers, you may collect those emails in the "Other" section to show your influence.

发帖数: 972 | 15 EB1A是要证明你有extraordinary ability，它的定义出自8 C.F.R section 204.5(h)(
2)
Extraordinary ability means a level of expertise indicating that the
individual is one of that small percentage who have risen to the very top of
the field of endeavor.
所以你只要证明你是最顶尖的那一小部分的一员就行了。哪个方法好用就用哪个。
Kazarian vs. USCIS的判例禁止USCIS对字面意思（the plain language）做延展或修
改，所以USCIS不能说你不到top 1%就不是。剩下的意思，你懂的～ |

who have risen to the very top of the field of endeavor."

这个RFE确实比较难回答
不过，我觉得，你首先可以用年平均来讲事情。毕竟年头不一样，积累自然不一样。
第二，别人top0.01%，并不代表你不是top1%；相反，你得到了那么牛的人independent
地肯定，应该是positive的。
第三，即使很在某一方向内，做具体分支的人发文的数目在相同时间内可以非常不一样
，在物理领域，做样品的就比完全做测量的人文章要多很多，引用也要多很多。讲清楚
你自己的方向，同时拿一个跟你方向很近的教授做比较。
这个第三里面关于专业方向分支间的比较，建议找一个独立推荐人讲出，不要直接由你写进reply去。

当前是这个方向的牛人。比如说，你跟那些well established的教授们在近期内同方向
的文章的引用上可以比较，然后说你这个方向上的贡献大，是这个方向的领头人。
另外，比较average，也就是很多人提到的那个2007统计表——不过我对这张表的解读
存疑。

some recognition, and is no doubt of value,given that a fundamental role of

文章引用数在同类文章比较靠前滴排名，把每一个闪光点都找到。
文章少不要紧，重要滴是文章有意义，引用少不要紧，只要比同行高就成。
既然这个IO喜欢把你跟同行比，你挑弱一点的来比不就得了（JCR里面有关键词文章引
