How to Reply the USCIS' RFE

Hi William,

I am a leading researcher in my company. After I submit my Green Card application in the EB1 Extraordinary Ability category about 2 months ago, I received a RFE notice from USCIS, asking for a criteria evidence of "Leading or Critical Role in Distinguished Organizations". How coulld I prepare my RFE response for this request?

Answer,

In your response to USCIS' Request For Evidence (RFE), it is best to devide this EB1 Extraordinary Ability (EB-1A) requirements into its two separate components:

1) First, you should identify any organizations with which you are associated. Are they famous? Can you provide evidence of the work they do and their mission? How many members do they have? Does there website describe their annual revenue, past achievements or highly reputable members? Then to prepare your respone to Request For Evidence, you should collect any and all evidence that could help prove that the organization has a "distinguished" reputation.

2) You should identify your role with these organizations: do you have a leadership role? What is your title? How many people have the same title? Even if you do not have a leading role, are you critical to the organization's success? Do you provide expert advice? Do you raise funds?

As you can see, there are numerous ways to reply the RFE requirements for this category.
