EB1b from a college, PD, 12,2005, and was transferred to NSC 05,2006. Just received the RFE letter, seems nothing for my background. However, they need a letter showing that I am offered a permanent position in the institute (I am a postdoc). This is the most difficult issue. I ask the international office what I need do, they told me nothing I can do but waiting, they will work on it. I do not know how they will work on it. I even did not see the cover letter when my case was sent initially.
However, they are right, what I can do is waiting………
The letter are attached below, any suggestion and analysis are welcome. It may also be useful for the guys who want to prepare the EB1b case. Thanks!
