Client initially received an RFE. While the USCIS accepted 2 of the 3 necessary criteria, that the client has served as judge of the work of others and has published scholarly articles in the field, they requested additional evidence regarding the client’s membership in organizations, their original contributions, and the distinguished reputation of the company in which they played a leading role. We overcame this RFE by supplementing additional third party information and letters of recommendation attesting to the strict membership requirements of the organizations that the client was a part of, revised letters and other evidence to showcase the specific achievements and leadership of the client in their field, and additional information regarding the distinguished reputation of the client’s employers. Thanks to our expert guidance in drafting a strong response to address all concerns raised by the initial RFE, the client was approved shortly after the response was submitted.
