your case is very weak for EB1a
I have to say 'wrong category', it is even a mideocal NIW case, worse than mine. Esp citation number so low, 12 papers, 24 citation??? I have only 7 papers, but over 100 citations (not including self). See the difference?
I only dare to try NIW, EB1 is too much for me. Be realistic, boy!
And worst of all, you don't have strong letterst to support! Even for my NIW, I get formor NIH director to write for me.
Get ready to send the NIW is a better choice for you now!
