How important is to get independent letters for EB1-OR?
I am having some trouble getting folks who do not know me writing me letters, My lawyer (company hired) told me today that those letters are not even necessary? is that ture? Unfortunately, the lawyer is always too busy to answer any of my questions.
My situation:
PhD. in organic chemistry from a decent US university.
3 years post-doc. in a top university
one year on my current job in a pharmaceutical company.
13 papers (3 first author, 8 second author (the first is my post-dco boss) and 2 third)
papers have been cited about 60 times.
Sigma xi (just joined in for the purpose of EB1), ACS.
awards in graduate school as students only.
please comments on how to improve my case
