It is very difficult to put a number in terms of chances as it depends upon a varying factors. More than your qualifications and skill sets, visa officers look at what proprietary product or service of the Organization would you be working on. If they get convinced that you indeed are one of the few in the organization who can do that then you have decent chances.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thanks for your reply. I have brought in to the company a new area ie DTV video chips and algorithms while the co is a market leader in mobile comm. Just for argument sake, how will the visa officer know how many people are in the co with my background, how crucial my background to the co is etc. No one is an expert in any Co except the inside management. If this is going to be only on the basis of Co's declaration and intend, this should be visible by the salary and their offer letter and Sponcership support documentation, Isnt it. (obviously in addition to the credentials of the applicant)

This is the reason the onus is on the sponsoring company to prove that you are unique to the company. One should provide documentation in terms of training and hours on those training you have attended, work you have performed, number of people having similar skill sets etc. USCIS many a times have raised RFEs askign for such.
