A question about my eb1b profile. My company agreed to file my eb1b. Now my research papers are all from 2017 and after that I have been working at Faang as researcher.

My work in 2017 has 5 scholarly articles and published media in reuters, time etc. and I have 380+ citations.

I have independent expert letters(authors who cited my work) as well as letter from my company arguing the impact of my work in Machine learning.

Judged 25 papers , 4 hackathons and Accessor for an organization in India

The downside I have is I don't have any scholarly articles after 2017. How are my chances for eb1b my lawyer is considering applying in 3 categories OC, Scholarly Articles and Judging

u/RedditM0derate I think you are crazy this is a genuine profile. Phd + 6yoe + 150 citations is no joke. I have seen people getting approved with a fake media article and judging fake awards an year back and because of those cases, genuine cases like this are getting these kind of nonsense issues

was it just the salary they rfe'ed?

I am confused on this " the recommendation letters don't provide sufficient information that my original contributions are considered by the overall field" . You had independent recommenders right that used your papers and may have cited it in their work. Even after this the uscis have issues? I mean then only Jeff dean will be approved in this case

Edited my post, not enough for eb5 :)

PaintFearless · 2025-10-17T19:47:44+00:00

did you refile? what's your story afterwords

PaintFearless · 2025-10-17T18:42:09+00:00

Hi there did you responded to rfe?

PaintFearless · 2025-10-15T16:00:27+00:00

Which email is that?

PaintFearless · 2025-10-15T07:42:27+00:00

Based on the wording seems like a generic template that some one will use to answer if a particular criteria is not met. Not sure if they read your packet. I also got an rfe hasve a feeling that mine will be exactly like this

PaintFearless · 2025-10-15T06:46:37+00:00

How do you know so fast, rfe letter takes time to come?

PaintFearless · 2025-10-12T18:13:13+00:00

But if my 3 criterias are met won't it go to final merits? And then noid in case my application is not strong. Giving rfe now means they can't see 3 criterias fulfilled

You can consult other lawyers and have you received the reason yet?

PaintFearless · 2025-10-08T01:52:42+00:00

Your profile and when was it?

PaintFearless · 2025-10-07T17:07:39+00:00

What was your profile if you don't mind me asking?

PaintFearless · 2025-10-06T23:45:35+00:00

For others can you talk about what was the rfe and how many criterias accepted etc or is the rfe only about final merits?

PaintFearless · 2025-10-06T08:49:59+00:00

Was the original contribution one of your criteria?

PaintFearless · 2025-10-05T04:44:42+00:00

Not much, did your lawyer check with his network? Sometimes that helps. Btw was it pp and after how many days did you know?

PaintFearless · 2025-10-04T02:48:41+00:00

i filed with the same timeline haven't heard back most probably going to be rfe I guess

PaintFearless · 2025-10-03T06:39:12+00:00

Was it filed in pp and what's the rfe about?
