To me EB1-EA is most difficult to get!!! still i see good scope for MTR
niw_2004 said:1. membership. they need specific mention of membership eligibility.
I am not sure abt MTR...........had this would have been RFE i would have suggested getting letters from memebrship authority stating why this is so special............and if you have already done this....MTR has a point
2. Judge. they said it is a retuine and has not established that his level of participation in the industry-wode peer review process exceeds that of other scientist.
It is not routine if you have submitted letters from editors stating that you have got this to review because you are an expert in this area. Even if you are postdoc ...........its not routine. Good basis for MTR appeal!!!
3. original scientific work.
The evidence established that the petitoiner has made orininal science contributions, and has acquired a degree of international recognition as an outstanding researer. several letters of support indicate that the petitioner's contributions have been significant, which we do not question. However, this appears to be a vital and growing field of research, and taken as a whole, the evidence on record is not sufficient to establish that the petitioner's impact and influence in the field is of major significance.
try catching words from letters which says there is no alternative to your contributions
4. authorship.
post doc, publication is "expected". only a few cites are not enough. These papers are published within three years, how can I get extensively citation?
If you see webscience/ISI sites it clearly mentions taht it may take years fot citations to apprear for certain journals. Such statements can be used to expalin that even though work is important and published why it had low citations.
also if you have leter stating that you were excellent post doc ...it will help!!
5. criticla role.
Similarly, the record does not demonstrate that the petitioner occupies a senior position within the organization, or has been responsible for the organization's success or standing, to a dgree consistent with the meaning of "leading or critical role".
well......................seniors don't come forward for this category.........it skind of funnt for them to argue......if they say its about leadinf role....may be your achivements and its uniquness can prove your leadership!!
