想想也是，人家见都没见过你，干吗给你写（尽管我说我会准备草稿）？但现在给RFE

I am also very clueless on this, as some people respond and others don't. It
does not indicate anything about you, and don't take their responses
personally.
I guess that there're not many tips, but just to send out more requests. You
must have tried those tips to use the networks of your advisor or friends.
And for the papers that cited your work, you can ask all the authors, not
necessarily the first authors (of course you may want to come up with an
order to ask them, in order not to embarrass them if they talk among
themselves).
"想想也是，人家见都没见过你，干吗给你写（尽管我说我会准备草稿）？" This may
be true, or maybe not. There are really nice people out there who are
willing to help, especially our Chinese fellows in different countries. If
your time's limited, don't limit yourself as to whom to ask.
Lastly, big bless for you! You will get the green card finally.

所谓给你写推荐信就是签个名，举手之劳。你要多拍拍对方马屁，滔滔江水连绵不绝之
类的。然后介绍一下你PhD老板。不给你面子也会照顾一点你老板面子。

TrueStory的回答总是那么全面专业。
我这里也有个问题，通常我们倾向于找引用我们文章的老板写，因为那个组老板写的推
荐信分量总归重一些。但是如果我们找参与那篇文章的博士后写（比如Research
associate)，也许移民官那个推荐人资历不够？

我觉得引不引用文章没关系，只要他肯在你的信上签名。我的经验是大部份教授不会给
没见过又不认识老板的人写信的，他们每天收到的类似信太多了，跟老板谈谈请老板介
绍效果好多了，另外有点connection的合作关系的尚没有合作文章的教授一般也会肯的
。

Actually the title is not that important, since almost everyone that we ask
for a reference usually has published XXX papers, been on editorial board or
TPCs YYY times, or awarded ZZZ projects/fundings, etc, it is good enough
for them to comment on our work. Their credentials are what we present them
to be.
For the letters from some Big Fellows, or the ones with XXXXX publications
and XXXXX citations, we want to tone it down quite a bit so that we are not
so trivial in comparison.
