Thank God, my I140 was finally approved yesterday, after the RFE response was submitted . It looks like that CSC issues RFE to everybody, but the final result is reasonable.

Hi doubleforest,
Congratulations!
Actually, I plan to file for NIW as well in CSC.
Can you give me some advices?
E.g., how many reference letters you submitted originally (I mean not during RFE)? Also, are all these people wrote letters for you have to be US citizen and from government bodies?
Thank you in advance!

To eb1doc and ixora78
I would like share with you my experiences. Hope it is useful for others who is still doing it.
My research is in the field of computational engineering and sciences, and I have worked on Navy projects for about 6 years. My research is not confidential, so it does not directly related to military industries. But since the project was founded by Navy, I tried to argue how my research benifits the military interests. I think this is the key point in my case.
I do not have many publications and the citation of my papers is also very low. The major part of my application is the commendation letters.
I initially got 11 letters, but my lawyer only used 7 letters ( 1 national lab, 1 NSF, 1 Goodyear, 1 military industry, 3 university) in the first submission. My lawyer had several reasons to do it in this way, one of which is to prepare for the RFE. But later when I received RFE notice, I found it's hard to use the un-used letters because the dates on the letters were too old and I had to contact the references to re-sign the letters. It's difficult for me to explain to them why their letters were not used in the initial submission. So I gave up, and started to contact other peoples.
For RFE, I got 7 letters (1 current employer, 1 national lab, 1 military industry, 3 university, and 1 non-professional letter from AirForce). I think that, for NIW case, non-professional letter is also useful, as loong as the letter can self-prove the writer qualifies to support you.
I would like to thank everybody here who contribute a lot to this forum.
