I study plant pathogens, and my research is sure about NI
in fact, in the RFE notice, the IO admitted that I was qualified for NIW except he would like to see more citations and publications after I submitted my petition (which did not make much sense) and evidence about my influence in the field.. so I add about 50 new citations, two new papers, five new letters from independent researchers (three from outside of US), review for three journals (letters from the chief editors), invitation letters from conferences... the whole deny thing is basically making no sense to me and my attorney, and I will post the notice once I get it.
