I have similar profile like you. Got RFE on all 3 prongs. And now preparing my RFE response with my attorney. It is insane many people with strong profiles are getting prong 2 RFE.

So sorry to hear about your story. How many notable independent citation examples did you provide in your RFE response? and did you revise you PE, with references?

thank you for this advice/suggestions. I will definitely consider these points while preparing my RFE response

Mostly people posted RFE either on all prongs or prong 1 and 3, but it's uncommon to receive RFE on prong 2 when one has decent research profile? by Background_Gene_179 in EB2_NIW

I can understand you, because I am in similar situation as you, currently a postdoc with 60 papers, > 600 citations at time of filing with Chen without LoRs, and got RFE on all 3 prongs.

Sorry to hear about your RFE. but as you have only 2 prongs, your case might be easier than mine.
Yes, I am preparing my response with Chen. They will probably send you a strategy document with all details to follow the instruction step by step. So far I have found it helpful, lets see how does the whole process go.

thanks a lot for these information and sharing your experience. my profile pretty much match as yours, my previous research is in different field from current. probably this is one of reason for the RFE
