  • EB1A chances

    Hi,

    I am a postdoctoral scientist at a public university in the US. My PhD was from the same university in the US. I'm thinking of applying for a green card under the EB1A category, and would appreciate comments about my chances. Here are my qualifications:

    * PhD from a US university

    * 12 publications (4 first author + 4 second author + 1 second author with 2 co-first authors + some others). Most of these publications are in the best journals in the field.

    * 190 citations, with >150 independent citations. My highest cited paper is where I'm the second author with 2 co-first authors (65 citations).

    * Reviewed 9 m****cripts independently for 7 different journals

    * Presented talks at 3 national/international conferences, and posters at 3 conferences

    One of my concerns is my first author papers only have ~43 citations, 35 independent. Is this a serious cause of concern? If yes, what would help bolster my application?

    Feedback much appreciated.

    In my opinion, I think you have a good chance. I am yet to see a convincing argument that the number of co-authors matters very much.
