Читать книгу U.S. Citizenship For Dummies - Jennifer Gagliardi - Страница 78

No labor certification is required if you can prove to the satisfaction of the USCIS that you are an internationally recognized outstanding professor or researcher with at least three years’ experience in teaching or research. You must be entering the United States in a tenure or tenure-track teaching capacity or in a comparable research position at a university or other institution of higher learning. If your prospective employer is a private company rather than an educational institution, the department, division, or institute of the private employer must employ at least three persons full time in research activities and have achieved documented accomplishments in an academic field in order to sponsor you for immigration.

You cannot self-petition in this category (an employer must petition on your behalf). In order to qualify as an outstanding professor or researcher, you also need to be able to document at least two of the following:

 Receipt of major prizes or awards for outstanding achievement

 Membership in associations requiring their members to demonstrate outstanding achievements

 Articles in professional publications written by others about your work in the academic field

 Participation, on a panel or individually, as a judge of the work of others in the same or allied academic fields

 Your original scientific or scholarly research contributions to your field

 Authorship of books or articles in scholarly journals with international circulation
