I got RFE of NIW last month. One full page of questions.
key questions:
1. If your university have conferred official professional recognition and/or standing on your relating to his employment, please submit official university docummentation of the same.
2. authored papers.
3. citation of your work.
4. granted project.
5. Eligibility for the requested waiver entails demonstrating that the national interest would be adversely affected if a labor certification were required. You must demonstrate that it would be contrary to the national interest to potentially deprive the prospective employer of your services by making available to US workers the position you seek.
6. you must establish you have a past record of specific prior achievement that justifies projections of future benefit to the national interest. You must establish, in some capacity, your ability to serve the national interest to a substantially greater extent than the majority of your colleagures. you must demonstrate to some degree your influence on your field of employment as a whole.
For above questions, I have following materials:
