Just called USCIS today and found out I-485 was approved, and the card was
mailed out yesterday 06/22/2011! But the on-line status is still initial
review.
It seems TSC is working hard and picking up in speed! Good luck to all
others who are waiting
2005 BS in Biology from China, 2010 PhD in Biomedicine from an Ivy League university, currently postdoc in big pharma.
Claimed authorship, contribution and review.
Authorship: 12 journal papers at the time of application. Half of them are research papers (3 first-author papers, impact factors between 11-26), the other half are invited reviews. It seems not necessary to distinguish between "real" hardcore research papers from review papers. I did not emphasize research papers carry more weight than review papers in terms of contributions to the field, or vice versa. Just count everything. I also counted 2 papers under review of which I am one of the middle authors, to show that I have sustained productivity thus sustained contribution to the field.
Review: This was the time-consuming part. I started collecting reviews right after I graduated in May 2010, and it took 8 months to reach 30 reviews. I counted everything, initial reviews and second round reviews. I also requested letters from editors-in-chief. Two of them were from Australia and Germany, and I emphasized my international reach.
Contribution: Citation was my weakness. Only ~80 including about 10% self-citation. So I did not emphasize the sheer number of citations, or the trend over the years because all my papers were recent dating back to 2008. Instead I showed the international distribution, the high-impact factors of my papers, and cited from my RLs. Luckily, my field was very small, and professors were willing to write very good letters since they read my papers. I also included a-mails from others asking for reagents, protocols and paper reprints.
The message to take is that you do not have to mention everything. Do try not to expose your weaknesses, and do not be shy to sell the best of yourself.
Good luck! |
