我除了self petition letter之外，还写了一个一页的cover letter，这部分和self petition letter开始部分内容有点类似，仿照模板在

我下面的内容有论坛热心人指出是重大错误的: 如果按照这个提交，肯定无法申请上。可能是我理解NIW的要求有问题，我下面写的3点就是抄了NIW要求的3点，还是其他地方有问题，是不是“under the standards set by In re New York State Dept. of Transportation 22 I&N Dec. 215 (Comm. 1998), ”这句话有问题，不明白。请教8老师，多谢。
Filed herewith is the Petition of an Alien Worker (I-140), XXX XX , Ph. D. (Petitioner and Beneficiary), on the basis that I am a qualified immigrant under the preference of advanced degree professional/alien of exceptional ability. The attached documentation shows that I qualify for a National Interest Waiver under the standards set by In re New York State Dept. of Transportation 22 I&N Dec. 215 (Comm. 1998), through (1) I seek employment in an area of substantial intrinsic merit, (2) the proposed benefit of my work is national in scope, (3) the national interest would be adversely affected if a labor certification were required. With outstanding achievements in the field of XXXX, I have established myself as an individual with exceptional ability, and my continued presence in the United States will substantially benefit the United States and people. Please find enclosed the following documents in supporting my immigration petition.
另外，请教8老师，这个cover letter是不是也是可有可无的
您上次回答Eb1a的cover letter:
Fine. Cov er letter is not necessary (it is optional).
NIW是不是也是这样，谢谢您。
