大部分已發表的論文不是第一作者, 你看我還有機會申請EB-1A綠卡？

由於近期移民簽證EB2和EB3類倒退,我打算申請我的EB-1A綠卡和EB-1B傑出研究員類.作為一個研究員在一間大公司的研發中心，我有一些論文發表在好的排名學術期刊，但我最關注的是,我不是大部分這些論文的第一作者. 你看我還有機會申請EB1綠卡？

Answer: The USCIS acknowledged that an alien applicant does not have to be the first author on an article to claim credit for it, and to apply for Green Card in the EB1 immigrant categories. This is because USCIS knows “the inherently collaborative nature of modern scientific inquiry, in which researchers rarely labor in isolation,” as indicated in an AAO decision.

But the USCIS Service Centers do send Request For Evidence (RFE) letter asking for proof that the alien beneficiary is a key independent researcher in a group project. Therefore, you should clearly document your role in a research team, especially if you are not first author on articles that result from your project or research work.
