Outstanding
Researchers (1st preference):
The evidentiary requirements for this category are as follows:
· International
recognition as outstanding in a specific academic field
· 3 years of
teaching or research experience, and experience can be gained
while pursuing advanced
degrees, but only if responsible for courses taught, or
research is recognized as outstanding.
· An offer
of employment. There are three forms this offer can take:
· Tenure
or tenure-track teaching position or comparable research
position, or
· A research
position with no fixed term in a position where the employee
would generally have the expectation of permanent employment,
or
· A research

3 full time researchers and has documented research accomplishments
in the field.
Aliens must have job offers, but no labor certification
is required. The letter must have employment terms, salary,
and a description as whether is tenured or not.
International Recognition as Outstanding
Aliens demonstrate work recognized as outstanding internationally
with evidence similar to that to show extraordinary ability.

Major international awards for outstanding achievement in
academia,
· Membership
in associations that require outstanding achievements,
· Material

work,

· Original
contributions in the field, or

of scholarly books or articles in internationally circulated
journals.
Books published by a vanity press or work without evaluation
are not given weight. Good examples of this are letters submitted
from academic peers. |
