Hi all,
I am a recent PhD (US university). I have low # of publications and a citation record (1 published in 2014 and another 2 under review - all in high impact journals, only 4 citations so far). However, I have 1 pending patent in a highly demanding and nationally important research area. The university is in the process of commercializing this technology and formed a start-up company. This company is funded and backed by several major government agencies due to its national importance. Currently I am working as the chief scientific officer there.
I am trying to get an idea about my chances for EB2-NIW filing. Is there anyone here filed a petition with a such scenario or while working in a start-up? Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
