I'm doing NIW myself.
Qualifications:
Ph.D. from a fairly good US univ.
Postdoc now in a famous institute; cancer drug research;
5 international publications; 15 citations; 1 American national student award; NIH and NSF funded research; Ph.D. work results were interested by a Giant foreingh company; letters from NIH, USDA, universities;

However, one letter states:
"few American students are being trained in this important area"
another said:
"availability of qualified researchers in this area is diminishing"
The experts added these statements themselves, and i know they want to streghthen my case. However, now i'm afraid this kinds of statements might hurt my NIW application because it may show contradiction with the NOT labor shortage argument. Anyone has good ideas?
Thanks

I would say, ask your lawyer for advice on this and then have the letter revised accordingly. Your kind of cases usually get approved without any problem. After all, the US government have invested much in you already just for your graduate education. Your are an expensive piece of equipment. They'd be stupid if they kick you out :D

You are right. Don't argue anything related to labor shortage. USCIS officers might ask for proof of labor shortage by asking you to go to labor certification route. Good luck.
 
485 approved!

140/485 concurrent in August, 2004. Self/sponse got approved at the same time 8 months later. TSC did a much better job than I expected!
self-petitioned, got no problem during the whole process. Proud of myself, happy for the several thousands bucks saved, and best wishes to everyone who are anxiously waiting.
 
Congrats!!
