Currently I am working in a pharmaceutical company as a research assistant.

Two master degrees, one in US and the other one in China
Two years full-time working experience on drug discovery (research), one year in US, one year in China
Three years research experience while doing master thesis
Three published papers on international journals, two conference presentations, one paper is going to be submitted and one patent is going to be filed
Membership in American Chemical Society

The attorney of my company is planning to file EB1, employee-based outstanding researcher for me.

The question is:
1. Which one is better? EB1 or EB2/RIR? I think EB1 might risky but save time because I heard the labor certificate approval needs 6 months in Northern California.
2. Can I file another NIW myself? What documents other than recommendation letters need to be filed?

Thanks,
Jessie
 
Re: Jessie Wang

JW,
For EB1 you might need >5 letters of reference indicating that you are an exceptional scientist.

NIW is the waiver of LC for EB2 or EB3. It appears to get shot down more often than you think

Finally- you can go both: LC and EB1 in parellel since you are filing the petitions simultaneously with two different agencies. If EB1 approves- you dump the LC. If they reject you- carry on with LC-EB2 etc.
