Hi everyone,
I have been reading on this portal for quite some time and would like to know what you all think about my credentials to apply for EB1-EA. i completed from PhD from India (cancer reserach) and have been doing my PDF at a univ in the US for the last 3 years.
Have 11 publications, 5 of which are first author.
have about 70 citations for first authored papers.
had a US sponsored post doctoral fellowship for two years, have also gotten two travel awards to go and present my work.
Have attended about several cancer meetings and have presented my work extensively
My biggest drawback being that I donot have any papers from my work in US, I am working on a paper but that will take about 6-12 months to get published
Will be able to get about 8-10 recommendation letters
I am still on J1 visa
What do you all think, should I apply for EB2 NIW and an year later try for EB1 or should I give it a try.
Thanks a lot for all the help
