    Loosing H-1B for Company Job

    To be on the save side, I wouldn't go on EAD before the interview. There are to many uncertainties what could happen and why risk problems now. I would wait with the job change after you had the interview and think about the situation again when you have a better picture about the interview...

    Chance of EB1-OR: please provide feedback

    - That are not many citations. Try to get letters from those who cited you claiming that you are very important in that area of research - If you boss was invited and not you it won't help you too much for the GC process. You need a letter from the editor that he wanted you personally (and...

    Chance of EB1-OR: please provide feedback

    - How many citations do you have ? - Were you invited for the chapters or your boss ? - Were you personally invited by the editor of the journals to review papers or your boss. (I had an RFE regarding that issue)? - You need good letters from independent (not associates to you or your boss)...

    Changing of job (University to company)

    What kind of research are you doing now and what kind of research will you do in the company. That both are chemistry based doesn't mean that they both cover NIW. I am also chemists, so you can go into details which would help to determine if there migth be a risk or not.

    I post this question for a friend: She is asking if it is possible to get the J1 visa renewal done in Tijuana or is it necessary to go back to her home country to do all the paperwork etc. Any help is appreciated.

    Eb1-or

    If you go for OR your company/university always has to sign your petition, which means yes the university HR would have to sign the petition. It is most likely that the university will start the whole paperwork after one year which in my experience is a pretty common policy in industry and...

    EB2 NIW RFE- Please help and decipher

    To be founded by NIH,NSF and American Cancer Society doesn't prove that your work is of national interest (80% of all projects in my former institute were founded by those organisations but only a very small part might have been of national interest). You need much stronger evidences, like...

    Eb1-or

    1) Sounds OK 2) You need good reference letters not only from organizer and editors but from top scientists all over the world. And if you go for NIW they have to clearly state your accomplishments in term of national interest. 3) Publications are just a small part for NIW and OR. Both are...

    For NIW it is obviously critical that your work is of national interest. Since you didn't go into details about your work it is hard to say if you could fit inot NIW

    EB-1 Extrordinary Ability HELP NEEDED!

    2) This is hard to say because in the end it is not important in which area you are an expert but that other top scientists in your area are confirming that you are one of the top 2% in your area. So I would choose the area you think you belong to the top 2% and try to get reference letters for...

    Advise for EB1A

    About the reference letters: You should ask the scientists you write what they want. Some of them will write you a letter without a template, some of them (the majority) want to have a template from you . In that case you should ask your lawyer for some templates. But be always aware that they...

    EB-1 Extrordinary Ability HELP NEEDED!

    1) The absolute number is not important. It should be very much higher than other people in your job. If the rest is earning for example $100000 you should perhaps at least get $180000 to impress USCIS. In general high salary is not the best issue to prove EA. 2) You should read more about...
