Hi all,
I am very happy -received magic email today that my NIW approved at NSC. I got straigt approval, no RFE
I filed non-concurrently since I am not from retrogressed country and now have to work on I-485.
My receipt date 10/17/2006
Qualifications:
I have MSc, PhD, MD degrees and work as postdoc at US university for 3 years.
Field: Biomedical engineering, specifically implants and tissue engineering.
Have about 11 papers, 3 of them are in good journals, the rest are so-so.
Have about 10 conference presentations and abstracts.
1 invention disclure (patent pending)
Had 6 LoR, 3 from independent, 3 from people I worked with. (initially had 8 but the lawyer said quantity rather than quality) From independent had one international and one from US army scientist, so can counted as government.
Membership: Society of Biomaterials, Am Chem Society and one of Who and Who's.
Citations. Was the biggest concern since I had about 8: 4 for one paper, 4 for the other, the rest none (now have about 15). I did submit number of times my 2 papers were downloaded from publisher website and the number was huge. (was able to get this info from Elsevier).
Also had printout from one of the Internet website where work of our research team was mentioned (with my name).
Lawyer did a good job in terms of writingpetition letter ( I think petition letter and how it is argued is the most important part of the petition. That is the only reason to hire the lawyer, most of the work you end up doing yourself anyway).
