Could you please share your credentials or at least an overview of your credentials? Without knowing anything about your background, one cannot answer most of your questions. 2. You can present whatever your presented while responding to your RFE. Additional evidences may/may not be considered...

1. No. Since you are in your 7th year on a H1B visa, you can only renew this visa on a yearly basis provided you have an approved I-140 (and waiting for a visa number). I assume your GC was filed by your employer in a category that requires employer sponsorship. If your approved 140 petition is...

Good question. The IO can always compare the credentials of those who write letters for you. An assumption here is that they are from the same field as well. You may want to read some of the administrative decisions posted online by the AAO. They directly address this issue.

What exactly does this mean? Asking for help in this forum on how to respond to an RFE without telling the forum what its contents were is like a doctor treating a patient that cannot speak. Should we guess and give you some suggestions? This is a popular misconception - that PP invariably...

See how technology has improved! Somebody who is not even one is posting in a forum :)

Folks, Does anyone know if Scopus can be used in lieu of Google Scholar or ISI Web of Science? I extensively rely on Scopus because I find it more up to date than either of the rest. Can Scopus be used as a serviceable substitute for these. Any comments/thoughts? Many thanks, GC

The invitation letter is typically an evidence - you might want to preserve this letter. Good luck. GC

This cannot be true. What new provisions are you talking about?

Can you post the RFE? Without this info, we can't really say much.

Can't you just submit copies of I-94 showing you were legally admitted into the US? What is the worry then? GC

You don't want to mention "grading" graduate students - in your letter. This is routinely done by senior-level graduate students who are employed by their departments as teaching assistants. I would put it as being a member of a panel that evaluates theses or dissertations submitted as part of a...

I think it is appropriate to use the fomal salutation "To Whom It May Concern". I am saying this because, (a) This is not a recommendation letter. That is, the person that is writing this letter is not recommending you for XXX or YYY. He/she is simply stating some facts - that he benefited from...

Depends on where you live. Check where your jurisdiction falls under - if NSC, then file there. For I-485, there is no difference between various service centers - give or take a few weeks.

It is really location dependent. And also depends on whether or not you have the proper immunizations done already. That said, I would guestimate the range as $300-600 per person. Getting immediate appointments is a known problem in certain areas and I have known folks flying to different...

Yes, you can. If your I-140 is approved, you can interlink your old I-485 to your approved I-140. GC

Thanks MM! I talked to several lawyers and they all say citations can be used either ways but depends on how extensively a paper is cited. I take this as either a large number of citations (100+ for one particular paper within a short duration) or extensively discussed with reference to the...

Folks, I'm preparing my EB1-EA I-140 package. I'm claiming the following three of the nine criteria: 1. Authorship of scholarly articles: 10 peer-reviewed journal articles 1 encyclopedia article 1 magazine article 25 conference papers 5 manuscripts submitted 2. Participation...

An out-of-loop citation is defined as an article or a paper, the authors of which have not authored or co-authored with you in the past.

Credentials look very good. However, you have very limited reviewing experience to claim judging experience.

That's a very good point! However, it is customary to attach the CV of the person that writes the letter and if the IO wants to, he/she can easily identify if the person is an acquaintance of the petitioner.
