EB-1 OR Approved

Notice date 03/36/2004; Approval date 01/25/2005. No RFE. Just got e-mail indicating approval.

Qualifications at time of filing

-employed at large multinational corporation
-6 Publications (3 from Ph.D., 3 from undergrad)
-Ph.D. from #1 department in my subfield
-100+ citations of my articles
-13 letters broken down as follows: 1 from graduate advisor (NAS member), 1 from undergraduate advisor, 3 from profs at Ph.D. institution (including Nobel laureate), 1 from prof who consults for my employer (NAS member), 2 US profs I have not worked with (full and associate prof), 2 letters from Canadian profs (both dept chairs), 1 letter from UK (full prof), 1 letter from Germany (dept chair), 1 letter from current senior manager.

My qualifications are not stellar, so I think the letters played a key role in my petition. That is why I broke it down so specifiically.

My I-140 was filed only 1 yr 3 months after I finished my Ph.D. I DID NOT HAVE 3 YEARS POST Ph.D. EXPERIENCE.

Good luck to all. There is hope. From my case, I am convinced that the xpert attestations are critical for OR.

Congratulations!

Hi, Tony403,

Congratulations on your fast approval!

Did you claim as "the judge of the work of others" in your application? Do you think a few peer-review requests for journal articles from the editors would be of help?

Thanks.

I did not claim being a judge of others. The key thing about OR is showing "international recognition". As a result, the referee requests must come froma journal with international circulation. I would ask the editor to write a letter saying "Dr. XX was chosen to review this article relating to YY, which is directly under Dr. XX's field of expertise due to his/her outstanding pubs regarding blah blah blah. Our journal is widely circulated internationally, as you can see form the atached marketing figures"
