First please indicate clearly which 3 criteria you meet. Then submit evidence to support this. the service has received the previously submitted evidences and determined that it was not sufficeint.

1. submited evidence not sufficeint for national international award.
(did not claim, but just mentioned that i received travel grant and fellowship.)2.

2. the evidence did not indicate that membership in any of the sosciety requires outsatnding achievements. ( did not strongly claimed but put it there)

3. judge of work of others in not sufficeint, ...peer review is scientific obligtion..evidence that you reviewed unusually high number of manuscripts, received multiple independent reguests ( we claimed this)

4. published material in major trade journal, the published material must show that your work is of major significnace ( we submitted 9 letters of support, from top tier scientist in my field)

5. the sumitted evidenced fails to establish that you have made an original scientific. scolarly or business related contribution. for eaxamle holding patent isnot considered....submit evidence that patent is being used.. ( we metioned that paten filed, but never emphasised)

6. we reveived evidence redaarding your scholarly articles, please submit evidence of citation an evidenve that these arrticles are indacative of extraoridinary ability and sustained national and international acclaim ( we submitted publication, but not the citation)

7.submitted evidence fails to establish that you have played a leading or critical role for orginazations that have distinguished reputation... to meet this criterion, you must submit evidence that you played leading role... also evidence to establish the distinguished reputation of the organisation. ( i belive we never claimed this)

8. have you commanded a high salary for services compared to others for a sustained period, please submit statictical comparison from ecomonic research institutes to esatablish this (again we never claimed it)

Hi ash-eb1,
Madgu had posted the model text of his interlink request. Let me get you right, you had not filed 485 with your EB1 but now you have filed 485 concurrently with the NIW 140? Did I get it right?

Thanks ash. I heard that you can recharge your I-485 to EB1A. Find out with you attorney. Hope it works. Good luck.
 
Congratulations ash-eb1 on your approval.

ash-eb1.. can you please let us know if you had to defend your low citation number in the Rfe rebuttal letter and If yes can you post the excerpt as to how you did it.

I have just outside 8 citations as my publications are all also recent 2005 onwards and remaining are self citation. So I was asking you this question.

Thank you very much.
 
Hi Modem

You are right that I did not filed 485 with your EB1 but now I have filed 485 concurrently with the NIW 140.

my only concern is from this FAQ statement from USCIS which i can not relate with my case.

because when i filed 485 with NIW by EB1A I-140 was pending not approved...

Q27: If an alien’s pre-August 1, 2007 priority date based on an approved labor certification and approved I-140 petition is transferred to a subsequently filed I-140 petition pursuant to 8 CFR 204.5(e), may the later filed I-140 petition be concurrently filed with an I-485 application between August 1, 2007 and August 17, 2007?
A.27. Yes. In accordance with 8 CFR 204.5(e), an approved I-140 petition on behalf of an alien accords the alien the priority date of the approved I-140 petition for any subsequently filed I-140 petitions on the alien’s behalf. Therefore, as long as the alien’s initial priority date remains current under Visa Bulletin No. 107, a subsequently filed I-140 and an adjustment application may be filed until August 17, 2007.
Q28: If an alien has a pre-August 1, 2007 priority date based on an approved labor certification and a pending I-140 petition, may the alien be accorded the earlier priority date on a subsequently filed I-140 petition such that the later I-140 and adjustment application may be filed between August 1, 2007 and August 17, 2007?
A.28. No. In accordance with 8 CFR 204.5(e), only an approved I-140 petition on behalf of an alien accords the alien the priority date of the approved I-140 petition for any subsequently filed I-140 petitions on the alien’s behalf. A priority date may only be retained for use in conjunction with a subsequently filed Form I-140 petition if the previous petition was approved and not revoked. If the first petition remains pending, then the filing date of the labor certification submitted in support of the petition may not be used as a basis for a request to retain the priority date.
 
Hi mougc

we did not provided the citation in the original, in rfe they asked us to provide so we just provided total citations and citation for each paper
( 5 most cited paper). My 1 paper in 2004 has 19 ciation including 5 self, my other papers were in 2006 with 7-9 ciation each.

i also made a bar diagram of citation and projected ciation trend, i saw here on the forum don't remember now.

However, we stressed that our papers are not only cited but also discussed in detail whereas the oridinary paper are merely cited ( we attached copy of those citing articles and highlighted with color the papragraph with discussed my paper)
 
Congratulations

Congratulations! Could you let me know when did you submit your RFE? How long did it take for your approval? Thanks
 
EB1A VFX

My case was PP. We relpiled RFE on august 8 delivered on 9th. USCIS recepit date was August 14, approval e-mail came on Sept 3 stating that they approved it on August 31st.

Can anyone comment should i withdraw my I-140 from NSC which i filed concurrently. Transfer my I-485 to the approved EB1A at TSC.

Thanks
Ash
 
ash-EB1
