recommendation letters for NIW RFE

[RFE4NIW]

I prepared 7 draft letters for the NIW RFE (the third prong). However, my lawyer thinks that 7 letters for the RFE is definitely too many and asks me to select 4. It looks to me that it's only because the lawyer doesn't want to spend much time for editing my letters.

Now I list my referees here and would like to know you guys' advice. Thanks a million!

Except one letter from the chairman of our department (she is a member of NAS), stating that what I am doing in the department and my qualification for this position, all the rest are independent letters. One from Swiss (national academician of science), one from Canada who has cited my work, one from a pharmaceutical company in the U.S., one clinical physician, two professors from university in the U.S.

If you have to select 4, what would those be?

Forget the chairman of your department (not independent). Pick four of the six (Swiss, company, physician and one of the US professor), let your attorney clean up those four letters, so that you get a good idea what it should look like. Clean up the last two remining letters by yourself and send all six letters. You really should try to get all six letters but you don't need the lawyer for all six of them. And don't forget to kick your attorney when you give him all six letters for being a lazy, well paid idiot

Many thanks for your suggestions. I still think he should edit all letters since he is paid. Is it good to argue with him?
