Hi,

These are my following qualifications and I want an opinion from the gurus of EB-1 -EA.

I have a masters degree and the following background from that -

1. 3 patent applications - 1 Patent application for a tool which is used in the industry I work in widely and has been shown at few exhibitions through my company. 2 Patent has been used widely in my grad school advisor's company but none of them have been approved patents yet.

2. 13 Papers - of which 5 are 1st author and 8 co-authored. No Journal papers though.

3. 30 Citations until now of my papers written

4.6 poster presentations

5.1 Oral presentation

6.1 invited talk at a University

7. 4 possible recommendation letters
a. VP of big engineering company
b. VP of another big engineering company
c. CEO of the company I work for
d. A prof from a university - knew my research but did not work with me

e. Advisor of grad school might be willing to vouch me too.

F. Awards- 1 Travel grant, Scholarship and research assistantship in my masters.

Now this is what I have until now but in few months- I can come up with 1 journal paper, I additional conference paper and presentation of this paper and possible patent application and also a possible membership with XI membership

Please honestly tell me if I have a chance at EB-1. EA.

I greatly appreciate your views and advise.

Thank you.

Looks like more an NIW than EA honestly, but it is worth a try for EB1-EA

Oh - this post is identical to your other one which I just responded to. If you can spare $195 plus lawyer fees, then you can try EB-1. But I would not spend money on the I-485 material until you know if your I-140 is approved.
Also, don't belittle the NIW. The only reason some people think it's 'easier' is because it doesn't necessarily carry all the list of requirements for EB-1, at least not legally, although these requirements are still used as criteria for EB-2 by many. The main difference with EB-2 (NIW) is that you must convince USCIS that it is in the national interest to waive the requirement for labor certification instead of first checking to see if an American can do a better job than you in your field.
