Folks,
I received RFE for my EB1-EA (self-petition) and they are asking for importance of my publications etc.. My area is so not hot therefore, it takes on average a year to get a manuscript published. Therefore, the citations are usually low.
To demonstrate importance of my publications, I relied on expert testimonials and also invited conference presentations. Therefore, I never talked about my citations.

How can I explain this in my RFE letter?
