Hey Guys,
My company filed EB2 3 years ago, but since the PD is not current I am considering EB1-OR. I am not sure if I am eligible. I would like to know what you guys think about it.
Here are my details:
MS from a good univ in Environmental Engn/sciences. (I donot have a PhD)
Work Exp in Research at my current firm for past 5 years.
Worked for major reserach projects...
Publications:
Total= 13 (incl. thessi)
Peer Reviewed = 2 (both 2nd author, but one totally based on my thesis), 2 more under review(1 1st author)
Conferences =10
I developed 2 models:
1st during masters, it is being used still by university and 1 consultant
2nd with my colleague at my firm
I helped to update a modeule in a major model (it is being used by USEPA), can get a letter of reco from ex. head of modeling at EPA to prove it (he retired last month)
Papers Reviewed= 3 peer reviewed journal papers(2 for Journal of Env. Engineering, 1 for a Journal in Honk Kong, hopeing it proves international aspect)
Professional Memberships= 3 National Professional Orgs.
Even though they are paid memberships, I am committee member for various committees for all 3 orgs, one of which includes mauscript reviewer for Editorial Review.
Awards=0
Published Material in prof. journals by others=1
Published an article about my work (one of my papers which iam 2nd authored is referenced), the model I developed and its implications by one of the guys who is a big name is the field (he also was involved in the proj. for which I developed the model)
I know that I just barely meet the basic requirements for EB1OR. My resume is a bit thin of Journal Papers and Papers Reviewed. But I would like to know if I stand a chance. My company would not pay for EB1OR (as they already paid for EB2), so I would do this if I have atleast a fair shot at it.
Your comments/critic is very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
