Just got fax from TSC. No surprisingly got REF. Could anyone give some
suggestions on how to respond them? Thanks !!!!!!!!!
RD May 13
REF May 27
Claimed contribution, authorship, Judge and membership (I should not claim
this. Didn't know Sigma Xi is not useful but harmful at that time....Sigh).
1) Contribution
The criteria has not been met because the evidence submitted does not
show
that the beneficiary's contributions are considered to be of major
significance in
the field of endeavor. Letters of recommendation written by experts may
be
helpful; however, the beneficiary's original scientific, scholarly
contribution of
major significance in the field must be demonstrated by preexisting,
independent, and objective evidence. In evaluating the reference letters,
USCIS
notes that letters containing mere assertions of widespread acclaim and
vague
claims of contributions are less persuasive than letters that
specifically identify
contributions and provide specific examples of what major contribution
the
beneficiary has had made in the field. To prove the significance of the
contribution, u may submit:
a) Objective documentary evidence of the significance of the beneficiary'
s
contribution to the field
b)Documentary evidence that people throughout the field currently
consider the
beneficiary's work important
c)Testimony and or support letters from experts which discuss the
beneficiary's
contribution of major significance
d) Evidence that the work has been widely cited or provoked public
commentary
e) Evidence of the work being implemented by others
2) authorship
This criteria has been met
3)Judge
This criteria has been met
4)Membership (Should have not claimed this one........Regretting...)
I claimed Sigma Xi and ASME (Full Member)
This criteria has not been met becoz no evidence show the association
require outstanding achivements of its members
Could someone give me some suggestions on how to respond the IO.
Thanks a million!!!!!!!!!!
