Finally received the EB1B-RFE. I have time until Feb 25 - so just one more month. The attorney only sent the attachment which gives the whole list of EB1B requirements (all six criteria).
(1) Judging other's work - USCIS has acknowledged my accomplishments and no further evidence is needed
(2) Scientific contributions:
"The Service acknowledges receipt of several letters which detail the beneficiary's accomplishments and contributions to the field. Now, please submit documentary evidence to support the statements made in those letters. Provide specific, documentary evidence of the beneficiary's original contributions including evidence of the impact on the filed".
My attorney was puzzled with this since the letters were evidence. So, how should I tackle this? Should I submit more letters - doesn't seem as though they need it?
(3) Scholarly articles:
"Please submit copies of any additional articles written by the beneficiary prior to the filing date and any additional published articles by other researchers recognizing the beneficiary's research and/or contributions. [Citing articles may have been published after the filing date]. Please highlight the portion of the paper that references the beneficiary's work and highlight the beneficiary's name in the bibliography or "works cited" section. It is not necessary to submit articles that are self-referencing, i.e., written by the beneficiary or his collaborators. In the alternative, you may also submit printouts of search results from such websites as SciFinder and GoogleScholar, just to name two. Please nte that such printout must contain the title, authors, and publication information for both the cited and the citing article. Search results that do not contain such details will not be considered evidence".
I have 7 more citations since filing my petition, 3 from abroad. Should I mention my original citations here as well?
(4) Published work about alien. In my original petition, my attorney mentioned the list of my citations in this criterion. Should I ignore this criterion and mention my original citations in the "scholarly" criterion.
In addition to my citations, have received some email invitations to write papers, to organize conference sessions, since the original filing. Which criterion will it fit in best? I am thinking I will only tackle (2) and (3) and ignore the rest. Hope one will be convincing, to couple with (1) already accepted by USCIS. Please provide your feedback and ideas. This time I want to write a draft of the response and send it to my attorney so that he can build on it and does not bungle up.
