Current Bio PhD student here. I would like to know more about ~ minimum requirements and costs for applying for an EB2 NIW. Bio papers take a long time to come out, so I would like to know whether I can still apply during the PhD while some of the papers are still in peer review or whether I would have to wait for a postdoc.
Hi Peter, PhD student here with some publications thinking about staying in academia. What do you think are the chances for a green card during the PhD i.e. EB1b or EB2NIW?
The facts matter but as a very general matter, there's almost always a solid basis for an EB2 NIW and even EB1A as well for those with a PhD (or far along in the PhD process).
> For neuroscience, where there is relatively little competition
Insane take. Neuroscience is highly competitive. As someone in both fields, I would say it is only a little bit less competitive than AI/ML.
I largely agree with the rest of your advice, but I would argue that having multiple extremely positive reference letters from different research experiences are worth more than some middle author publication.
On firefox you can also use sidebery. If I recall correctly it worked decently well. Currently I'm using Arc which performs well enough for my use cases, although being locked into chromium kinda sucks.
Current 4th year in Biology. Generally, 1 paper is expected, but it is not strictly necessary to graduate. Highly doubt that the PI will let you go without finishing your project though.

Thanks for doing this!
