Hello there, just go for EB1-EA rather than NIW, though there are practically no differences between these two if you are from a non-retrogressed country.

Now that I see you ARE from one, just go for it. You will make it for sure. The three points I would highlight for NIW are:

1. Advanced degree, postdoctoral experience
2. Research area has merit (relevant to national interest) + you can show the economical impact as well.
3. Authorship (papers), impact on the field (citations + recommendation letters) and being a judge (reviewing experience).

Cheers and good luck!

I wouldn't worry about
