RFE for outstanding Professor

[mgoyal74]

I am a Professor at the University of Maryland. I joined in June 2005. We submitted my I-140 under EB1 in Dec 2007.

We received an RFE asking us to show three years experience in research and teaching.

Will the three years be counted as of the current date (in which case I should be fine), or the date of first submitting the I-140?

Also, how can I show a part of my PhD as counting towards the three year experience?

Thanks in advance!

I think you should consult a good attorney who specializes in such cases. The forums miight not know all the details as these are rare cases and not many people ask questions regarding this subject.

As for your question, my opnion is that the date of first filing the I-140 is the answer to your question. A good attorney should guide you with the right course of action.
