You need several papers and not just a couple. Have a ton of citations. Just having many papers is not good enough. They need to be in top journals with high impact factor. Membership to societies have to be exclusive. They should be very tough to get in - like National Science Foundation. You have less chance at this time in your application. You may want to improve your credentials more. In the recent EB1EA denials and RFEs that I have seen, they are being tough on publications and membership to societies if a person claims them.

I have also seen that people who used premium processing were more likely to get denied or got RFEs compared to regular applicants. Maybe Premium applicants are judged by a higher officer and thus more scrutiny.

I second the opinion of pswami. You are better off getting better credentials prior to applying in EB1A. Besides, membership in PMI is granted to anyone as long as they pay the annual dues.

Certifications cannot be considered as proof of extraordinary ability. However, the papers that you are writing can be a part of the overall case that your attorney can prepare for you.

I was one of the first guys to get the PMP certification when it was launched, but I don't think that it can be considered a significant achievement.

Just my 2 cents though. As always, you should get a professional opinion from a competent attorney.

Good luck with your case.
 
Quick comments:
- 1,2,3,4 and 7 are unlikely to work.
- 5 and 6 have to evidenced by clear contributions to your field (I agree with previous comments made on this). From what you wrote, will be difficult...
- 8 should be ok if indeed the projects are visible enough and you played a real leading role in them.
- As for 9, it all goes with statistics on salaries in your area of expertise. If well documented and if indeed you get a much higher salary than most of your peers in equivalent managerial positions, it should work.
