EB1B postdoc

Can postdocs file EB1B (Outstanding Professor/Researcher)?? My mentor said negative but an attorney told me that it is possible to do so....

to Howard:

My friend told me that he asked his employer to change his job title to a more “permanent-position-sounding” one, like research associate for EB-1B. Apart from that, you’ll need your employer to state that your position is permanent in the employment letter for the EB-1B petition. This is what my fried did for his EB-1B I-140.

to Howard:

Hey, as long as your employer is willing to sponsor, postdocs can file EB-1B. You can ask an attorney regarding the documents they need to provide for your case.

to Beverley:

Ok, I'm going to check with the international office one more time. But you know how they are really inefficient when it comes to their employee's GC application...
