who is your lawyer

May I know your background or major?
Take it easy, man. TSC is the easiest center for NIW approval. All of my friends got approval finally, even some of them have only a M.S. and work as a technician in medical enter. So you can imagine how many papers they have, 1-2 second or third author papers.

Getting a letter from government agency is the best way to beat it. You should have 6-8 recommendation letters initially. Now try to get more

Good Luck,
