Proposed employment on I-140 for EB1-EA

HI,
I have a question regarding Part 6 of the I-140 form when filing for EB1-EA:
"Basic information about the proposed employment"

Are they asking here what employment you are currently having, or what employment you are intending to have once you get your GC?

Since I self-petition, I am not providing a letter for an employer how specifies a job describiton.

Right now, I am a full-time Medicine resident, and part-time researcher. My application describes my research achievements, and does not go too much into my current clinical training.
So, I guess for propsed employment I would like to say "Medical Scientist - SOC code 19-1042". Would that be correct or would I have to say here that I am currently full-time in medicine?

The basic question is: what do they mean with proposed employment under category EB1-EA when this application is not employer-sponsored?

Can I simply say Medical Scientist and indicate a full-time position?
Or do I have to leave the whole Part 6 empty, when the petition is not filed by an employer?

Thanks!

That's an interesting question. I don't think anyone here can tell you exactly what "they" mean and how it applies in your particular case.

However, I wouldn't leave the Part 6 empty if I were you. When I filed my I-140, I put in my current occupation/employment at the time, since I was intending to continue working for that employer and in that capacity. I also self-petitioned, never included any employment letters and never got any RFEs.

I guess you could list either of your current employments, so long as they are in the the field of your "extraordinary ability". I don't think it makes that big of a difference, since you don't have to stay with the same employer after GC, but only in your area of expertise. Good luck!
 
Hi,
thanks!
I would like to indicate on Part 6 my current activity as a researcher (since I am arguing that my "extraordinary ability" relies upon my research). The only problem is that in the next 2 years, while I am a Medicine resident full-time, I am now only a part-time researcher.
Should I thus indicate "medical scientist", but say that this is a part-time job?
Does this have any consequences if you indicate on your I-140 part-time or full-time job?

Thanks!

P.S.: I guess it would make a difference if I indicate part-time vs. full-time position when I indicate the salary.

When indicating the salary, do you need to supply any additional documentation, such as a W2 form or anything like that in your EB1-EA application?
Are they checking your current salary?

Thanks!

Getting approved under "alien of extraordinary ability" does not require a job offer. So you could easily be part-time employed or self-employed. Just concentrate on proving to them that you are "extraordinary" and that you intend to continue working in your field.

As for salary... I never included any W2s or tax returns. And the amount I posted was not "extraordinary" by any stretch. Haven't had any problems. I suppose that the only time it would really matter is if you claim "commercial success" or "high salary" as one of your EB-1 criteria.

Good luck!
 
Thanks!
I really appreciate that help!
I am almost ready to submit my application, but I am still working on my cover letter.
I am trying to have an idea how other people who have been successful crafted their cover letter. In case you would not mind to let me have a look at yours (after eliminating personal infromation), I would be really thankful for that!
Thanks!
