How to Reply the USCIS RFE Request of Judging the Work of Others?

Hi William,

I received a Request for Evidence (RFE) notice from USCIS for my EB-1A Green Card application, for the request of evidence for "judging the work of others in the same or an allied field". Please provide any idea for replying this kind of RFE request?

Answer,

To respond to an RFE (Request for Evidence) regarding judging the work of others, focus on providing clear, concise, and strong evidence that demonstrates the beneficiary's expertise and qualifications in their field. This includes demonstrating their involvement in reviewing manuscripts, serving on editorial boards, or other activities that showcase their role as an expert who assesses the work of others.

After the EB1 extraordinary ability petitioner receives the RFE notice for judging of the work of others , the petitioner should submit evidence, such as information about the editorial board that they serve on, or emails or letters that signify that the beneficiary has reviewed manuscripts for prestigious journals. The following is a more detailed consideration:

1) Understand the RFE: Carefully read the entire RFE notice from USCIS to understand exactly what evidence is requested; Identify the specific criteria related to judging the work of others that USCIS is questioning.

2) Reviewing Manuscripts: If the RFE mentions manuscript review, provide evidence such as letters or emails from journals confirming the beneficiary's role as a reviewer; lists of manuscripts reviewed, including dates and journal names; statements from the beneficiary detailing their review process and the significance of their feedback.

3) Editorial Board Membership: If the beneficiary serves on an editorial board, provide evidence such as letters or emails confirming their membership and responsibilities; a description of the journal's reputation and the beneficiary's role within the board.
