Hi everyone, I am new here.
I got my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from a soso university last year, now I am working in the medical field. Want to give a shot on the NIW. Can anyone recommend a good lawyer in NIW?

Although I don't have lots of papers and awards, but I feel that if my case is presented well, the possiblity is still high. So far I have eight references, two from my previous academic advisors(two full professors in electrical engineering), two from my current work (M.D.s in stroke diagnosis and breast cancer imaging), four others who don't know me (one scientist in cardiovascular research, one full professor in radiation oncology research, one M.D. in thoracic surgery, one full professor in electrical engineering from Europe). Have worked on a few interesting projects in medical imaging which should be easy to present. I guess my biggest shot is the petition letter which should be carefully drafted.

Does anyone here have a similar background and have got their NIW approved? Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks! :)
 
Hi MMTnPPT, everybody!

I am also thinking about NIW. My problem though is that I actually can fill in only 2 of the 6 NIW criteria! I have a Ph.D and a few citations, and that is pretty much it. I can get letters, but I don't have 10 years experience, I don't have salary, no licences, and just the regular memberships? Would it be better to forget the whole NIW application?

Any feedback will be appreciated ...
 
Hi
I am a MD from India, worked as post doc in US for about 20 months, 7 abstracts, no full paper yet. Currently I am a resident in entirely different field. My NIW was prepared by Stephen Jeffries in NYC and was approved by VSC in July 2006.
 
don't worry. PhD is enough

Is ph.d a requirement?

Hi Gurus,
As i see lot of Ph.d 's applying in EB1, is it mandatory to have a Ph.d ? I want to clarify that As per the rules, I see that recognition, awards, patents, papers.

Thanks
 
Can someone working on a specific technology - like legal Wiretapping - be able to apply for a NIW?
Qualifications - MS, plus 8 yrs experience?
 
It is not mandatory to have a PhD for EB1. If presented properly non PhD cases should also go thru. With PhD come lots of publications, citations, abstracts, grants etc : things that are quantifiable and finite. thus making it easy to convince the service that the individual in question is X-ordinary.
 
My shot at NIW?

I have a PhD in physiology and a master's in computer science from a US school, now I'm working for a well-established medical device firm that makes diabetes care products.

My publication is thin, but I do have 4 pending patents and two conference presentations, and I'm a member of an honored scientific society. I have never been asked to perform peer review.

I will have a recommendation letter from an NIH official who was on my dissertation committee, but he doesn't work in diabetes field. I may be able to get more letters from prominent diabetes researchers. Other letters carry big names, but not necessarily big in diabetes research.

Anyone can comment on my qualification? I understand the attorney plays a big role in this, but I'd like to hear comments about what NOT to miss before I go talk to an attorney.

Also, I'd like to recommend a law firm, Frederickson and Byron. Don't get me wrong, I can't even use them because my company's HR are bunch of obstructionists. Those guys are good, a colleague of mine applied for EB1, they put together a 5-inch thick stack of supporting material and an impressive cover letter. The partner spent an hour with my colleague for consultation before picking up his case. He's stuck in 485 now, but otherwise his case went really smooth. And get this - they've never failed an EB1 case.
