monkeyzoo said:I have 70 citations from independent papers, 10 citations from myself. 7 papers are first-authored, 2 papers are second-authored. no conference abstracts. I didn't count on how much from first, or second. I used 7 independent recommendation letters. I didn't use my boss letter even though he had written it for me. I think the important evidence should be from independent sources, not from your circle. The INS officer especially take care of this point. Good luck!
