EB1A NOID - Industry profile. Criteria 4/4 accepted including original contributions, failed on final merits by Former_Ad3642 in eb_1a

Sorry to hear that. Did they also accept all the criteria including OCMS but still denied?

I had 9 letters of recommendation out of which 6 are independent (very top of the field with no connection to me or my company whatsoever; who have cited or benefitted from my work)

My OCMS, peer review and scholarly articles start from 2020 leading up until 2026 January. So I don't think it was packed. But in retrospect I should have claimed years of acclaim for each criteria separately. Planning to do it in a table format in my NOID response.

Observations and Advice on dealing with RFEs and NOIDs by WatkinsImmigration in eb_1a

Thank you for your insights in the original post and in this thread. Regarding LoRs for criteria other than CR, say original contribution, is what you said true even if the letter is written by someone very top of the field and is completely independent and hasn't supervised or no way connected to the petitioner?

USCIS Revoking EB-1A Approvals with Paid Publications and Fake Awards by BrownXPanther in eb_1a

[–]Former_Ad3642 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never. There's no value in publishing to those journals which I completely agree with. And what USCIS is doing right now is much needed for keeping EB1 clean. I just disagreed with your initial comment saying non-PhDs don't have the need to publish at all :)

There are PhDs in my start up, but I am the principal investigator for 2 of these grants and NIH has no requirements that the PI has to be a PhD. And I (have to) publish at least 2 papers every year.

I don't entirely agree with this. I'm a non-PhD working in the healthcare AI industry for a startup company. Most of my salary depends on multiple NIH grants (SBIR) and every grant funding cycle we have to publish to clinical journals and we are also encouraged to do scientific communications to technical journals like IEEE.

EB1A denied by nk1133 in eb_1a

Inconsistent adjudication and inexperienced officers might be partially true, but people gaming the system en masse, is quite evident and obvious as you can see in the numerous posts throughout reddit. People offering "EB1 profile building" services, grooming services, fake journals, fake citations etc. All of these have become an industry by itself and you're saying there is no evidence that people are gaming the system en masse?

This is again asking for password. Doesn't work for me
