Dear friends,
This morning I received an email from CRIS saying ' We mailed you a notice requesting additional evidence. ' Not a very good news, so I am waiting for the paper notice, thinking of how I can reply the RFE appropriately. I thought I provided all the evidences that I could think of.
Following the discussion on this forum, I did the petition by myself. In that 29 pages petition letter, I stated my credentials: 1. two national awards from Canada (post doc fellowships); 2. couple of society memberships including Sigma Xi (I know this is not strong); 3. original contribution (9 recom letters, near 30 citations); 4. authorship (16 journal papers, 10 first author); 5. judge of others work (review for several journals, conference proceedings, organizing/coorganizing conferences/symposiums); 6. exhibit of work (conference presentations, invited talks to conferences/universities). I put lot of effort for criteria 3, 4 and 5, hoping to get approved.
Each criterion may be RFEed. I tried to document the evidences carefully, and I didn't PP to rush the case, but still I got RFE.
Now, the new term starts, as an assistant professor of mathematics, I really don't have much time for this. Well, not a complaint, but I am really nervous. If this didn't get through, I have to apply through other channels and start the whole preparation again.
Thanks for your time.
Suggestions and comments are very welcome!
I will post the RFE letter here once I receive it. Stay tuned.
