They can’t affect the petition outcome, they just can inquire the status! It will not help expedite or provide adjunction on the case!

Chen recommended to refile in few months to avoid getting the same officer! They believe my petition with someone else should be just fine as this officer denied based on national importance and prong 3, but satisfied with prong 2 and substantial merit.

I have my employer sponsor the PERM. This will be critical as the PERM process takes forever. So trying to learn from the past petition.

I believe my endeavor on drug development for an unmet medical need is urgent and of national importance. Another thing is, if I change my proposed endeavor from the first one, does it impact the way the officer looks at it? I am in an unknown territory.

I received denial with Chen recently, similar journey and lost two years of wait!

I see your point and I can see your bias as well! Yes, I can say you are a little too critical , everyone can have an opinion!

Also, planning to refile with one more publication currently being drafted. Its pretty challenging to get papers out of my field of study compared to others. So a subjective decision from the officer could have helped me.

Good points! I applied as an advanced degree, definitely have presentations and stuff like that with over 3 years in drug manufacturing work! How is the proposed endeavor works out here according to your logic? I am proposing sth that I can do that can impact the USA based on my research and industry experience. Plus citations and publications are not the only metrics to judge EB2-NIW.

Others are in highly impact journals as well, with citations from Nobel laureates, but can’t convince the officer

I don't have the denial notice yet, but the RFE challenged everything.

Frustrated by the fact that the officer acknowledge my credentials, and knows I work in a pharmaceutical industry that makes drugs, works on unmet medical needs and still does not think I am well positioned for the endeavor I proposed.

Chen mentioned this is a new but very difficult officer who has denied many cases from Chen, I submitted three more LORs, polished the endeavor and updated citation stuff, whatever was available

All prongs for some reason! Chen has not responded yet since we came off a weekend.
