目前得知I485終於批准,借用前人格式來分享一下自己的時程

====
終於了解那種煎熬等待的過程,I140都還沒過,中間就換了兩次工作,尤其第二個博後
轉換跑道做bio-enginering後, 發現這個老闆態度極度惡劣,每週唷 ~~真的是每週週
末都叫你來LAB,然後還要求你半夜 12 點去做電子顯微鏡(講些很奇怪的道理說半
夜做效果最好,XXX我明明白天做也結果很好),然後幾乎每週都要罵他的博後跟
adjunct professors,有“天才型”的博後就弄假好讓自己快活些(明明細胞就是死的,
也要弄成活的,不說”天才”要說啥)
那時真的是每一分 ,每一秒 ,都是有如火在燒一樣的痛苦, 對比去年 TSC的光速審
查, NSC真的龜速到讓我急到如熱鍋螞蟻,因為一點也不想待在那個幾乎是做假的
Bio-lab,漫長長的等待中,交往五年的女友也離開了,似乎更是一大慘烈的打擊,要不
是我對學習新的東西有興趣,對美國正在發展的新領域還有動力去研究的話,應該早就
打包行李,回台就業了。留在美國,只是想再把自己的專業加強得更扎實,等在美國
累積足夠經驗,再把氧氣帶回台灣。
至於NIW申請的撇步,我個人是覺得只要一直有論文發表就應該會通過,論文被引用
次數應該不是USCIS審查重點,推薦人的名氣也一點都不重要,我的推薦人就有
一位年紀跟我一樣的美國年輕人,剛剛從某個大學做完博後,去一間startup
做R&D,該公司是有申請到NSF small business innovation research grant,
認識他是因為他跟他老闆有一天來national lab看我的電子架設後,隔天他留下來跟我
討論一些細節,就那一天知緣,就答應幫我寫推薦信囉。另外,可能有些律師會說
national lab 大老闆級的推薦信很有用,但我只找我的小老闆給他草稿,請他簽名。
我個人是覺得推薦信只是要證明你的networking可以滿足美國國家利益的條件。
祝福有想從NIW這條路拿綠卡的人,早日美夢成真。
其他catagory想拿綠卡的人,也早日拿到。
