I have applied for premium processing for my EB1EA. I got a fax today asking RFE and it does not make much sense.
The letter lists all of the 10 criteria and has few notes for only 3 of them.
I submitted evidences for 1st 6 criteria.
Two of the criterion says,
(v) " Evidence of the aliens original scientific, scholarly contributions of
major significance in the field
The record shows that you are listed as a primary researcher/author on two
articles. Submit evidence that the articles are of major significance in the
field."
(vi) Evidence of alien's authorship of scholarly articles in the field, in
professional and major trade publication or other major media;
The record shows that you authored only two articles. Submit evidence showing that two articles are sufficient to establish national and international acclaim.
I must be honest, I did not address that only two articles list me as the 1st author in the cover letter as I did not think, it would matter so much.
I have 14 published articles in top level journals (250 citations). Two of them have my name as 1st authors. There are three of them where my advisor has his name as 1st author (I'm the 2nd author and primary contributer). Two other 2nd author papers I have equal contribution as the 1st author and my postdoc advisor stated that in his original letter.
So my question is how do I address this RFE?
They have not added any addtional notes about criteria (ii), (iii), and (iv). does that mean I have fulfilled these?
Thank you for your time.
