I greatly appreciate if some members in this forum can give me some suggestions on my application for EB-1A.
Firslty, I list my cresidentials in the following for your reference:
1. PhD from a US university 2009, will start my postdoc at the same university soon
2. 19 journal and conference papers, all first author. Top journal papers in the field.
3. around 40 citations (around 6 are self-citations). several papers are based on my work, and clearly mention my name and my contributions.
4. over 80 reviews for 10 journals and numerous conferences.
5. technical program member for 2 international conferences.
6. Sigma Xi member (won't claim)
7. no media report, no major award
7. five reference letters. 2 independent from professors who cited my work.
(I feel more reference letters can be found, if necessary)
I filed my NIW application in April this year to TSC, but it was transferred to NSC in May. I am thinking of applying for EB-1A now. My questions are the following:
1) Does my case stand a reasonable chance to be approved?
2) Shall I go for the premium processing?
I hear that if one's NIW case was transferred to NSC, his EB1A case is highly possible to be transferred to NSC too? I am wondering whether a requrest for PP service can make my EB-1A case stay at TSC.
Thank you very much.
