I am having a very odd situation, i work for the federal government as a health scientist, my recent discussion with our Immigration officer opened up a new issue.
a. My employer (federal government) will not apply for Eb1 B but support EB1 A (extraordinary ability) which is perfectly ok with me. But ironically EB1A doesnot require a sponsor and what my organization mean by sponsor is they will pay the application fee.
b. They will not hire any lawyers but i am responsible for getting all the papers and they will write up the cover letter. Here comes the worst part. I saw their standard cover letter template and i was stunned. They had a 2 page letter that said the following "XXX" is filing the I-140 on behalf the applicant "Dr.xyz". The applicant claims under the following x out of 9 categories to qualify as an alien of EA. Under each category, they had the exhibit # and one line description
c. At the end of the cover, they had 2 paragraphs about the organization and they are keen on having me to continue the critical work the applicant is doing...
Given the above fact, i asked them if i create a coverletter with the help of my lawyer and give it to them, they will not accept that. And they said no lawyer should be in the scene if they are going to apply..
Question to the gurus here is
a. Will sending an app EB1 using the signature from a reputed federal agency help? Given the fact, i have recos and other important awards, papers and full time job offer letter in the organization,
should i use a lawyer and file outside? I have filed my NIW earlier thru my lawyer. I am from a retrogressed country...
Any suggestions will help?
