大部分已发表的论文不是第一作者, 你看我还有机会申请EB-1A绿卡？

由于近期移民签证EB2和EB3类倒退,我打算申请我的EB-1A绿卡和EB-1B杰出研究员类.作为一个研究员在一间大公司的研发中心，我有一些论文发表在好的排名学术期刊，但我最关注的是,我不是大部分这些论文的第一作者. 你看我还有机会申请EB1绿卡？

Answer: The USCIS acknowledged that an alien applicant does not have to be the first author on an article to claim credit for it, and to apply for Green Card in the EB1 immigrant categories. This is because USCIS knows “the inherently collaborative nature of modern scientific inquiry, in which researchers rarely labor in isolation,” as indicated in an AAO decision.

But the USCIS Service Centers do send Request For Evidence (RFE) letter asking for proof that the alien beneficiary is a key independent researcher in a group project. Therefore, you should clearly document your role in a research team, especially if you are not first author on articles that result from your project or research work.
