I submitted PP on 11/13, and today I got an RFE;
Most of the things are what I have submitted,
I will give the details
The record does not include evidence of a major internationally recognized award,
- This is a tough one. Scholarships/fellowships won't work. Although if you have any awards such as "Scientist of the Year", that might be useful.
2. The record does not establish that you are the recipient fo nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards of excellence
- Same as above. Again scholarships etc don't work.
3. documentation of your membership in associations which require outstanding achievements for membership
- This one, you have to get letters from the associations to prove that you can't just get a membeship by paying.
4.Published material about you in professional or major trade publications or other major media relating to your work in the field for which classification are sought.
- If you have any of these, like an article on your work/yourself related to the work or your achievement - may it be in the trade journals or newspapers (may it be local) - that will help.
5.The record does not contain published accounts of your career achievements in qualifing media.
- I don't get this one. Probably this might fit in your area of something.
6.Evidence in the panel;
- If you were on committees of grad students. Then submit a copy of the passing certificate of that student which you would have signed, when on his/her committee.
- And if you have any communication letters/email etc, showing the requests sent to you and acceptance etc, for being on any publications panel, grant proposal evaluations panel etc - submit those.
7.Records lacks evidence that you serve on the editorial board of scientific journals
- If you have reviewed articles for different journals - submit all those communication between you and the editors/associate editors etc. They usually send you a thank you letter each time you review the article. Print all those email/mail communications.
- You should have reviewed enough articles to prove.
everything as from the criteria for EA category was listed.
I have submitted all the evidences but they want it again, I have to submit it before February 9, 2007
Please give me some suggestions for preparing the RFE.
Thanks to all.
