NIW
I140 9/28/05 mailed
9/30/05 received
11/5/05 RFE issued
2/1/06 RFE response mailed
2/6/06 I140 approved
国内M.D. Ph.D.,生物医学5年postdoc. Top 20 university. 2 1st author paper in JBC in US, 3 1st author paper in china in chinese journals, 6 coauthor paper. total 40 citations. One university award in US, six national and city awards in china, 7 very strong letters in initial submission(not from NIH and VIP).
INS asked for official letter of the award in US and my name in NIH grant as key person in RFE.
I pepared following documents for RFE:
1. official letter of the award in US
2. 7 grants with my name in them as a key person
3. consultant in another boss's NIH RO1 grant
4. 4 more citations since initial submission, two are reviews including Science and another non-SCI one
5. 3 more strong letters, 2 from heads of NIH, 1 from yuan shi
我的case总体来说还算顺利,RFE主要是碰上了一个picky的移民官。幸好RFE应对得当,一星期就批了。
我请了楼上左第二位律师chicago office 的 zhang tao. 个人感觉,zhang tao 人很nice,敬业也有经验, 我挺喜欢她。我的一个朋友DIY,一个月就批了,没有RFE.
总体感觉,NIW的运气成分是很大的。
