    Help on recruitment report (RIR) please

    My company (chemical) just finished a 3-month recruitment (in MA). The attorney wrote a 3 page result report with a few sentences for each of the 9 applicants and a summary of the ads. I wonder whether that's sufficient. I read from some webpages that the report should include things like ...

    RIR Recruitment Question

    This must happen often: after the recruitment ad, many H-1 and F-1 holders send in resume. My question is: Can these resumes be disregarded because they are from non-US workers (without mentioning them in the recruitment report)? In other words, can the company only consider GC holders and...

    NIW - avoiding independent references

    Thanks to all for the information. I think I made my question clear, and I didn't force any one who does not want to help to do anything. As I said before, I just wanted to give the forum a try, see if I can get some useful information. I think I'll stop here.

    NIW - avoiding independent references

    I would love to hire one if he/she can go over my case seriously. I did get into contact with several. But my feeling is: They first simply look at the numbers -- papers + citations + patents... then see if they can fit your case into one of their templates. If your case isn't that...

    Thanks to all for the information. My background: PhD, material science, 2 years' exp. 1 patent, 3 papers, ~ 5 citations. All in the same general field, but not closely related to our product. I think my strongest point should be my contribution to my company based on the product. It¡¯s one...

    How to define your FIELD in NIW?

    Are there any regulations then? Does the wording of the field have to match the 'non technical job description' in form I-140, or is if flexible? When you change job, will the 'title' in 140 determine your field, or will the 'non technical job description' do? Thanks.

    How to define your FIELD in NIW?

    I have a technical question regarding NIW: Are there any regulations on how to define your FIELD? For example, if you are a biologist working on mosquito control, how should you state what your field is? Biology, or mosquito control? The choice would make a huge difference when you argue...

    Third criteria of NIW

    Thanks Jim. I wonder what the format of such a statement should be. Should my CEO write something, then ask a government official to cut and paste it into a letter and sign it, as if it were written totally by the official? Or should the official point out that he learned about these facts...
