What are things I could do to improve my resume for EB1 category Greencard in the next year or so? I am currently on H1B working as a SWE at a top Silicon valley company (think Google/FB). I have a Master's degree in CS from a top US university and have a couple of years work experience. According to the company attorney, I qualify only for the EB2 category. Unfortunately, the EB2 queue is extremely long since I am from India. I am asking this since you mentioned in your past AMAs that it is possible for strong EB2 candidates to move to EB1.
- proberts 9y agoI would need to explore your background further but some options are to do journal/conference review work (this is more available than many people realize) or try to obtain a higher level of membership at IEEE, for example, or other similar organizations.

- rofex 9y agoWould participation in company-internal conferences/technical summits also count, other than the usual internationally reputed journals/conferences? Could you please elaborate on "this is more available than many people realize"? Thank you for doing this AMA.
- proberts 9y agoInternal company stuff doesn't really help other than possibly to bolster that you're playing an "essential role" for your company. If you want me to drill down deeper and get into the specifics, send me your CV.
