I received an RFE titled " Request for initial evidence" rather than "request for additional evidence" today from TSC.
They have a lot of stuff written about NY DOT
and then it says
" The evidence you have submitted does not clearly establish that the National Interest would be adversely affected if a labot certification were required. The service is not convinced that your accomplishments are substantially greater than the other researchers working in your fild of expertise. therefore, you have not established that you would serve the national interest to a substantially greater degree than an available US worker having the same minimum qualification. "
" It must be noted that all letters of refernce indicate that the benificiary has conducted successful reserach and discuss the potential impact of his research work. The service cannot approve NIW based on one's research work without evidence of significant accomplishments which have already impacted the filed or a specific industry. "
Please submit evidence for
Please demonstrate how your achievements are more significant/noteworty than others in the field and are above that normally attained by somebody at your current level. To establish this you should submit letters from independent witnesses who have not worked with you but are familiar with your impactr on the filed"
My questions:
1, How is this RFE. I have no experience with these. Does this look bad ??
2, From what I read they want "unbiased" review of my work. Is that correct ? If this is what they want, I can quite easily show thsiI am planning to send letter from the editors of two journals describing the importance of my work. Also, two more letters from the DoD. What else would one advise ?
3, What else do I need to do ?
Thanks
