Congratulations!
Could you please share more of your information? For example, Are you in Company or University? How many pubilications and reference letters? Are the reference letters from the people who do not know you? Any award? Any review of other's work? What do you think is very important for your I-140 approval?
Thank you! and Enjoy!

Work in a medium sized chip company (3 years). PhD, with 12 publications in top conferences/journals (engineering), 12 reference letters, majority from people who I haven't worked with, but who i know through conferences/research reviews. It is important to get letters from outside the country. I got 1 from Canada, 1 from Japan, 1 from Hong Kong, and 1 from Taiwan. It is important to have very focussed letters that comment on your specific abilities that make you an OR, and to discuss your prior research work and how that work influences the works of peers.
I am actively involved in research reviews, and frequently review conference/journal papers. I am also on the PhD committee of a graduate student. My work was also mentioned in a reputed engineering news publication.
There is no substitute for collecting and crafting the best possible petition that you can. I used an RFE from another petition (which I obtained through my company immigration lawyer), and used that as a model of what to do right, and what to avoid. It has become tough to get through the OR, esp when you are in the high-tech area, and with the narrow interpretation that USCIS has of Outstanding Researchers. I was actually discouraged from filing this petition by my company (i persuaded them anyway), but I went and did the best I could, and got through without an RFE.
Good luck to all
Cheers

Your hard-working in preparing the documents and your background deserves the approval.

reference letter
Hi,
Should the person who write a reference letter, be working on same field or anyone can write if you send your CV?

I am not sure what you mean by "anyone can write the letter". Obviously, the person writing the letter must be an internationally recognized expert in the broad field you are working in, and should be able to comment (as an expert) on the critical nature of your research.
Of course, if you are in high-tech, you do not want a person with a background in biology to write you a letter. The first few paragraphs in the letter are devoted to how the letter writer qualifies as an international expert in the broad field in which you are working, and how he/she knows you (through your papers, or through meetings at conferences etc).

The officer in our University did an inquiry for me on January 12, 2005. The second day, I got it approved. I don't know what is the exact relationship between the inquiry and the approval.
My I-485 was submitted on late April of 2004, which is later than the date of I140 submitting. It is still pending.

Which university you work in ? And do you know how did your school officer make the inquiry? like what number he used ...
Thanks so much
