Hi, all:
I would like to hear about your suggestions on my case.
I graduated with a Ph.D. recently, and I am now working as a Postdoc in a National lab. Since I am still on the F-1 visa ( with OPT), I am not sure if I could start to apply for GC or, it\'s better for me to wait till I get my H1B. On the other hand, which category should I apply, EA or NIW ?
My qualifications:
1. PhD in Chemical Engineering
2. 7 published Journal papers (with 5 in English), and 1 in preparation; Not many citations for my papers, and most of citations come from my own group members
3. Around 15 conference presentations/invitated talks
4. Reviewed paper for a top Journal in my area, and this is the only time I worked as a reviewer
5. No major reward, although I did received several university level rewards
Thanks a lot in advance for your reply,
Teresa
