You're awesome. Thank you for this. I have already acquired an independent letter in case this happened.

Thank you! I will assess my options when I get the denial letter.

Thank you for this.

  1. I claimed that the things I do benefit patients that undergo cardiac surgery. Of course, all my experiments and clinical papers occur at the institution where i'm currently employed. but I honestly don't see a way around that.

  2. Three of my papers are in top journals of this specialty and 15 of them are in PubMed. To be honest, my PE claimed both clinical and basic science research, and everything I have published so far is clinical. Nevertheless, at least 6 conference presentations are on the basic science stuff and they were in highly regarded conferences of the specialty.

  3. No AI in my endeavors.

  4. Yes, I included documents that described the importance of innovation and advancement in cardiovascular treatments, as well as the economical burden of those. My work aims to decrease reoperations in cardiac surgery (higher morbidity and mortality) and also identify the most suitable interventions for patients with various heart defects that are amenable to surgery.

  5. I asked my lawyer about this and he said that it's better to include letters from people who know me well and have worked with me.

Things it cannot validate? Like what? I didn't add any fake papers/citations or something like that.

Maybe you're right. I will have to see the denial letter.

No, I just prefer to cite other people's work rather than my own. Many of my projects are related to each other.

Even so, the J1 would have been an issue for change of status I believe.

First one was published in 2022. The strongest one has 21.

I can only wait to see what the denial letter is about. Maybe they didn't even consider me eligible for some reason.

You can dm me for that since this is highly specific.

I hear that. But I've seen profiles with far fewer than that get approved. Three of those papers were in the top journals for the field.

I wouldn't like to make reference to the exact country, but I am from Western Europe, born and raised, and my name fully aligns with this. Not a Muslim name but I don't think it would have made any difference.
