Reference Letters, What Can I Do? |
| Hi
William, I am work on my immigration petition. I can get some reference letters, but it is difficult for me to get independent reference letters. What can I do. Answer, For EB1-Extraordinary Ability (EB-1A), EB1-Outstanding Researcher & Professor (EB-1B), and National Interest Waiver (EB2 NIW) immigrant petitions, the independent reference letters (or recommendation letters) are preferred by the USCIS Immigration Officers. But this kind of "inner circle" bias can be overcome by other documentation in a petition. For example, petitioners can submit articles they have published in noteworthy trade publications. Also, petitioners can show that their work has been cited nationally or internationally. Additionally, the fact that all the referees in a given petition are personally acquainted with the petitioner can be overcome by the notability of the referees. For example, some referees were researchers at world's leading medical research institutions. For some pettitioners who are not able to solicit independent recommendation letters for their petitions, the alien applicants can obtain favorable manuscripts from the peer review process. Most scholarly journals put all articles through a peer review process before publication. Many of these journals maintain manuscripts from the peer review process. Peer review manuscripts represent the opinions of unbiased, anonymous observers of the author's research. If they comment favorably on the author's work, they are convincing evidence of the petitioner's accomplishments. In many cases, the USCIS immigration officers can be persuaded by peer review manuscripts. |
