Eb1 or NIW?

[Tanya&Anya]

Hi, I'm new in this forum. I am planning to apply for the green card. However, I do not know for sure
which category would be better in my case. I would be greatly appriciate
if you would help me to decide.
Briefly, I am working at Washington Univerisity in St.Louis, Medical
School, Ph.D. in Biology, Physioly. Having 10 papers (peer-reviewed), two in preparation,
70 citation, media about my work, 18 abstract, 2 oral presentation,
recommendation letter (6-8), teaching assistant experience in Russian
University including supervision of students diploma, reviewer in Journal
of Neurophysiology, have awards and fellowships from Russia, one was
international (George Soros Foundation Award for Post-Graduate Student).
My major question, am I qualify for EB1 (A or B) or NIW? And also which one is
better? My position now is staff scientist, and I know that petition needs
to be submitted by the University in case with EB1b, do they have to say that my position is
permanent or it would be enough to say that I have position which is
willing to continue? I know that my Department will not sign that this is
permanent job. And in this case is it possible that my supervisor will
sign petition (she is willing to support) or it is important to get
signiture from Department?

Thanks a lot

Go for NIW - only because it is easier and I assume you are from a non-retrogressed country. In that case, it doesn't matter if you are going though EB1 or EB2. Good luck!
