NIW NSC 十天DIY 无advanced degree 提供一种论述思路

曾经被疫情黑天鹅蒙蔽了双眼，觉得可以等毕业了直接申请EB1B.. 结果突然出现排期傻眼，观察了两个月之后发现不对劲，深刻理解了晚申三个月多等一年。时间紧任务重，觉得签约律师战线拖得太长，遂决定DIY，直接暴力上chatgpt魔改网上各种模板，最后十天内DIY完寄出。


Timeline：

• 开始准备：03/14/2023
• PD/RD: 03/24/2023
• Approval: 08/30/2023
  

提交时背景：

• PhD candidate，只有本科学位，学校不给master
• 114 citataions, 13篇文章6篇一作
• 45 reviews
• 三封推荐信，两封非独立一封独立
  

NIW到底在论述什么？
众所周知，NIW申请的过程是(先熟读 8 CFR, Section 204.5(k)(3))：先证明initial evidence，要么是advanced degree， 要么是exceptional abilities：

• (A) An official academic record showing that the alien has a degree, diploma, certificate, or similar award from a college, university, school, or other institution of learning relating to the area of exceptional ability;
• (B) Evidence in the form of letter(s) from current or former employer(s) showing that the alien has at least ten years of full-time experience in the occupation for which he or she is being sought;
• (C) A license to practice the profession or certification for a particular profession or occupation;
• (D) Evidence that the alien has commanded a salary, or other renumeration for services, which demonstrates exceptional ability;
• (E) Evidence of membership in professional associations; or
• (F) Evidence of recognition for achievements and significant contributions to the industry or field by peers, governmental entities, or professional or business organizations.
  

这里七选三，然而这几个条件对于phd student来说要么达不到，比如十年工作经验或者高薪，要么比较模糊，比如说membership，有些律师说IEEE/ACM的student membership就可以，有些说这些肯定不算，要invitation-based的。我研读了一些案例，发现2016 Matter of Dhanasar之后，NIW最重要的是证明三条prongs：

• the petitioner's research in aerospace engineering has both substantial merit and national importance;
• the petitioner is well positioned to advance his research;
• on balance, it is beneficial to the United States to waive the requirements of a job offer and thus of a labor certification.
  

Initial evidence是为了证明这三条而服务的。而在刚才的那七条之后，条文里还有一句'If the above standards do not readily apply to the beneficiary's occupation, the petitioner may submit comparable evidence to establish the beneficiary's eligibility.' 也就是说，如果在那七条之外找到别的'comparable evidence'能证明我的exceptional abilities也没问题。所以我的思路就是，直接claim EB1的老三样 (original major significance, authorship, reviews)，然后用它们来support那三条prongs，详情可以看我的PL第一页的截图。这样做的好处是：一，显而易见不用advanced degree；二，因为claim的是EB1的老三样，之后真的申请EB1的时候很多材料简单修改就可以复用。我最后在exhibits中还是附上了我的本科学位以及PhD系里出的一封信说今年夏天会毕业。

DIY细节：

• latex模板：https://github.com/razvanmarinescu/EB1A
• 大量使用chatgpt润色PL和RL
• 使用表格和图说明自己文章被世界范围内引用
• 说明自己citations逐年exponential增长，这个新学生一般都可以
  

运气不错，没有RFE五个月approve了，TSC貌似更快，很多两个月就批了。现在等着公司申EB1B了，不知道公司律师看不看得上我写得东西lol。然后慢慢等排期了，不知道这个PD 2025 十月能排到不。。。求求给开个表B吧起码。。


写这个帖子为了给大家分享一种新的论述思路，求米！之后要是有空会再分享一下用画citation map的R代码以及chatgpt的prompt，但其实都很简单。

楼主太强了！10天嘞！我现在准备DIY 完全没有头绪该怎么开始，就一直看视频，还是一头雾水。

是啊，已经通过了

楼主真的太强了，我都过去一个月了还在找头绪呢
