As long as you are in the same major, say EECS, it's no problem. For example, if you studied firmware compiler in your PhD and now you are working on VLSI chip design, they are all in EECS, you are perfectly fine. All your papers count.
Thanks. My PhD research is on Internet Service, but current work is on firmware development for embedded system, which has nothing to do with Internet. Not sure how to combine them together.

That is no problem at all. First, you should really not focus on these detailed things related to your specialties when you prepare your petition. IO never really pays much attention on then unless it's an obvious problem. This is not an obvious problem because you have been working in the same major EECS. IO would simply think "Ahh, computer engineering stuffs... then what's the big deal of his internet service projects and firmware projects So your focus should be on explaining the importance (international influence/recognition ...) of your PhD work and firmware projects. That explanation should be for any layman knowing nothing about technical details. Imagine for your Internet Service, if you could claim you are the original inventor and implementer of SOAP. Then you collect all evidences for academic/industry applications/influences of SOAP, which should be very easy in this case (for SOAP). Your SOAP work has definitely been internationally recognized and applied, right? Then imagine your firmware project, and you could claim you are the original inventor of flesh memory drive. Would that be possible to explain why flesh memory drive is an important technology without talking about how you actually made flesh drive? Now you could put both SOAP and flesh memory achievements in your petition. Are they related to each other technically? No. Are they both helpful to your EB1 application? Absolutely. Hope this helps.

PhD的工作如果是同领域,研究性质,就算. 我的就算了. title最好在写申请时候,给上级说说,让灵活一点,给个research engineer或者 research scientist and engineer之类的. 3个researcher以上的单位就是现在的公司. 3个researcher, 3年以上工作经验(现在公司,顺代提PHD几年), employment letter分 三封信. 都让你本公司人签字好了. 我是这么干的,因为我不想再去找PHD老板了.
