I just got RFE for EB1b 140:
1) Evidence that your awards constitute major awards in the field.
I have sent the reference letters from the meeting organizer/professors. Is a letter from the organization (eg ASPET) itself to comment on the award helpful? What else can be done?
2) More documentation regarding your work as a peer reviewer.
For one journal, I had an invitation letter from the editor for being a review—clear evidence. For the other journal, I reviewed the article for my advisor. She wrote a letter confirming that I reviewed the manu. I don’t think I can get a letter from the editor of the journal (Biochemistry). What should I do? I thought being a reviewer for one journal should be sufficient, right?
3) Evidence that your published materials establish you as internationally recognized in the field.
I have ted the reference letters from the professors who invited me to gave a presentation. Should I just get more international ref letters (I only had one from Japan; others are all from USA)? My lawyer is asking for the selection process or Impact Factor for my papers in China. Will this be useful?
Any advice will be highly appreciated. I have put so much time in I-140; don’t want to have it get rejected…..Tnx!!
