PhD publications, citations
Published Jan 22,2016

Dear Sir,
I have 6 publications, around 50 total citations, and have judged 5 papers of others for international journals. I also have attended few international conferences.
This is my 5th year as a postdoc, on H1B and my area of research is systems biology. Can you please let me know how strong my case will be for EB1A or EB2-NIW?
Thanks,
-Jig

Hi
Your case appears strong. You may be able to self-petition. However to fully judge your case you would need to tabulate ALL your credentials against the USCIS criteria mentioned in the EB1a or NIW pages. Please follow the approach listed here or email us your resume to fully judge your chances.
Our example petitions may help you, should you decide to self petition.
Best wishes

Thanks Sir for you reply.
Please find my resume I have emailed you through jigiisc@gmail.com.
I worked on cancer in my first postdoctoral position and now I am working on Iron metabolism which is linked to diseases like hemochromatosis, anemia, cancer alzheimers etc. I develop mathematical models which
explain the dis-regulated mechanisms in this diseases and then we try to find some treatment for theses diseases.
In general NIW is easier compared to EB1a. In your case you satisfy the statutory EB1a requirements. In addition if you can show that your are among the top few percent of your area of work (through references– corroborators and independent referees) and your work has sustained impact/interest (your citations), then you would be able to succeed in EB1a. If you are born in India, there is along waiting time for NIW.
If you have other questions let us know .

Hello Sir,
I am a PhD student and have a masters degree. I have four publications from my masters and 60 citations. Is this enough to file for EB2/NIW with good rate of approval?
Please read our free eBook (link below). High citation count would be helpful, but the main point is that your research is of the national interest to the United States. Obtaining PhD degree before filing EB2-NIW petition would also increase your chances of approval. https://www.greencardforphd.com/free-ebook

Thanks,
