help for an unexpected NIW RFE

Dear friends, please give suggestions on my NIW RFE

Background

• DIY case for NIW submitted on Sep. 29
• Ph.D. in molecular biology from China
• 17 publications including a first author paper published in one of the best journals in this world.
• 65 journal citations
• One pending patent
• 9 recommendation letters including two from national academy members
• 1 local newspaper reporting my research

My friends who got approved said I have a pretty strong case for NIW, however, the result is a RFE. I really got lost, any suggestion is gratefully appreciated.

Thanks a lot


Here is the response from NSC/RSS EX807:

Additional evidence is requested to evaluate eligibility for a national interest waiver pursuant to the tests established in Matter of New York State Department of Transportation, 22 I & N Dec. 215 (Comm. 1998.) (Please note: the evidence already submitted demonstrates that the proposed research employment has substantial intrinsic merit and would be national in scope).

It is noted that you submitted a list of citations, a document that appear to have been generated by you or your representative based on information from “Scientific Information.” This is insufficient evidence that your work has been heavily cited. Please submit copies of any published articles (or at least a very healthy sample) by other researchers citing or otherwise recognizing your research and/or contributions. Please highlight the portion of the paper that references your work and highlight your name in the bibliography or “works cited” section. It is not necessary to submit articles that were published after the petition was filed or articles that are self-referencing; i. e. written by you or your collaborators.

You must establish you have a past record of specific prior achievement that justifies projections of future benefit to the national interest. You must establish, in some capacity, your ability to serve the national interest to a substantially great extent than the majority of your colleagues. You must demonstrate to some degree your influence on your field of employment as a whole.
