更新,为应付RFE,增加了6封推荐信,中国教授一封,韩国副教授一封,美籍华人(自
己开公司)一封,美国教授一封,两位编辑各一封。文章数目没有增加,引用从151增
加到了171次,审稿从31增加到了36次。虽然引用数目还行,但是,没有一个引用是大
家所认为的亮点。所有的推荐人没有一个业内的牛人。所审的稿,除了plos one用
google的排名,看起来还行,其它都是不知名期刊。律师建议在感恩节前送出RFE
response,好让移民官一边吃这火鸡肉,一边审我的案子。结果证明律师是正确的。我
只能说,自己比较幸运,碰到了比较好的移民官。
谢谢大家的建议,也希望大家好运!
RFE信收到.
肯定了publication, 质疑了审稿,说是审稿是发生在2014年2015年,有问题,其实我
2013年也有一篇审稿。需要提交The criteria the publishers use for selecting
peer reviewers
• The criteria for being a member of the editorial board
• The reputation of the publishers来证明不是routine的工作。这部分应该没
有,我手上有两份信,都是说因为我outstanding才让我审稿的(律师没让用)。另外
还有一个德国的
编辑同意给我写封信。关键是contribution,RFE是模板,这个不怪IO,律师写的关于
contribution的推荐信太模板,里面没有具体的我的工作别别人应用的例子。而且正如
你们所说,推荐人太弱,没有欧美强国的推荐信。接下来准备找一个日本的教授(前段
时间同意,但过了几个月不知道是不是改变主意了。昨天给他发了封信,继续要推荐信
,目前没有回音),还有一个在美国dupont公司的科学家(华裔),还有一个美国的教
授(需要先skype,然后再决定)。另外我还准备联系一位在中国科学院的教授,他好
几篇文章引用了我好几篇文章,正在联系中,不知道他是否同意。
各位有什么建议吗?
谢谢!
下面是RFE Letter里面原文,供大家参考。
Evidence of the beneficiary's authorship of scholarly articles in the field,
in professional or major trade publications or other major media.
The beneficiary has met the plain language of the law.
Note: Meeting the minimum regulatory criteria outlined above, alone will not
establish eligibility for the Ell immigrant classification. Any evidence
submitted in response to this request, should also articulate how the
evidence establishes that the beneficiary possesses the required high level
of expertise for the Ell immigrant classification
The criterion has been met.
Evidence of the beneficiary's participation, either individually or on a
panel, as a judge of the work of others in the same or an allied field of
specialization for which classification is sought.
This criterion requires not only evidence of invitations to serve as a judge
, but also evidence that the beneficiary served as a judge of the work of
others in the field to which he is requesting classification. In order to
meet this criterion the evidence must be indicative of or consistent with
sustained national or international acclaim. In order for the regulation to
have merit, the evidence must show that you are so renowned in your field
that you are highly sought after to review the work of others.
The petitioner submitted evidence that he has reviewed the written work of
others in the field and so has met the plain language of the law.
Note: Meeting the minimum regulatory criteria outlined above, alone will not
establish eligibility for the Ell immigrant classification. Any evidence
submitted in response to this request, should also articulate how the
evidence establishes that the beneficiary possesses the required high level
of expertise for the Ell immigrant classification.
The evidence should be indicative of or consistent with sustained national
or international acclaim if the statutory standard is to have any meaning.
The evidence shows that the peer reviews were conducted in 2014 and 2015
which is not conducive to sustained national or international acclaim. Also,
the beneficiary may show that the reason he was asked to be a judge was
based on his notoriety and acclaim in the field and not because he
volunteered, or is a member of the organization as is the normal peer review
process.
The beneficiary may submit:
• The criteria the publishers use for selecting peer reviewers
• The criteria for being a member of the editorial board
• The reputation of the publishers
The beneficiary has met the plain language of the law.
Evidence of the beneficiary's original scientific, scholarly, artistic,
athletic, or business-related contributions of major significance in the
field
The plain language of this regulatory criterion contains multiple
evidentiary elements that the beneficiary must satisfy. The first is
evidence of the beneficiary's contributions (plural) in the field. The
beneficiary must also demonstrate that the contributions are original. The
final requirement is that the contributions rise to the level of major
significance in the field as a whole, rather than to a project or to an
organization. The phrase "major significance" is not superfluous and, thus,
it has meaning. The beneficiary must submit evidence that satisfies all of
these elements to meet the plain language requirements of the criterion. The
beneficiary submitted support letters as evidence that he meets this
criterion.
In general, the letters talk about the beneficiary's research and how his
work has influenced other researchers in the field. The letters use the
terms, "first to introduce, Mr. XXX pioneered, and significant results, to
name a few. The support letters go on to describe the research work of the
beneficiary in an attempt to demonstrate the major significance of his
contributions. Support letters alone are insufficient to meet this criteria
without corroborating evidence to back up what was said in the letters. All
researchers add to and take away from research done by others. That is the
nature of science and research. The beneficiary has stated that his ground
breaking contributions have led to significant journal publications. Journal
publications that the beneficiary has written about his research are not
relevant to this criteria. Submitting research papers to be published is
expected of those in the field. The beneficiary must be able to demonstrate
that what he has done has greatly impacted the field. A new discovery that
has a major significant impact to the energy field would be well noted.
There would normally be awards, interviews, patents, articles written in
major scientific publications about the discovery, etc ....
The classification of extraordinary is reserved for those very few who are
at the top of their field. Those
whose work has made a major impact to their field and who are nationally or
internationally recognized as the one who discovered it. The beneficiary
must be able to demonstrate how he has done this.
The beneficiary may submit:
• Articles in major media's about his original contributions
• Awards
• Patents
Note: Letters and testimonies, if submitted, must provide as much detail as
possible about the beneficiary's contribution and must explain, in detail,
how the contribution was "original" (not merely replicating the work of
others) and how they were of "major" significance. General statements
regarding the importance of the endeavors which are not supported by
documentary evidence are insufficient.
This criterion has not been met.
ECE专业,但是偏半导体制备和表征,其实就是太阳能电池,博士再读。
一作英文期刊文章6篇,中文1篇,1章book chapter,会议文章2篇;其余2~4作英文期刊

总引用数153,没有大段引用。
审稿7个期刊,两个会议,总共31次。
四位推荐人,草稿基本上没有改动就签字了。两位马来西亚人,一位巴基斯坦,一位埃
及人。
请了律师,给了两次不过可以申请退款的服务,帮忙写推荐信和PL。
其实RFE在预料之中,确实引用上没有什么亮点,也没有媒体报道什么的。最好的两篇
文章,一篇是top2% (三作),一篇是top 4%(一作)。
律师倒是感到意外,而且对于应付RFE非常有信心。目前还没有收到信件,但我估计应
该是与contribution有关。等收到信后再来和大家汇报详情。
哦,对了,之前之所以没有上来求祝福是因为有预感肯定会拿RFE,怕浪费了大家的祝
福。
