Re: Reference letter for Dr. XXX (EB-2 National Interest Waiver)

Dear USCIS Officer,

[Please state, that you are writing reference letter to support my National Interest
Waiver petition for Permanent Residency in USA.]

[Please introduce yourself - employer, job title, work experience, achievements,

honors, awards... Your excellent background, distinguished expertise, outstanding
credentials, qualification and top level job position must convince USCIS officer (who is
outside our scientific field) that you are sufficiently qualified to evaluate whether my work
is in national interest.]

[Please write about how do you know me – clearly state that you are more familiar
with my work than with me personally. We met just for the filming of the document
regarding space radiation for XXX television when you invited me as an advisor to your
research institute. I served as a consultant for the state-of-the-art XXX radiation
detectors which were discussed as the future of the space radiation detectors in this
document and which I am expert in. Describe in laymen’s language the purpose and
content of the document.]

[Please explain details of my contribution in filming with XXX channel. Please use
laymen’s explanations and practical application wherever it is possible. I introduced
XXX detectors to the team and showed how this small compact equipment (like flash
disk) can measure radiation just with using a computer and software I co-developed.
Then I explained how these detectors were sent to space in current XXX project, how I
get the data from there and what we can recognize from these data. Please explain why
this project is so important and what are the benefits to US national interest…]

[Here it would be great to highlight my strong knowledge and impressive experience with
XXX detectors and point out my contribution – development of HW and SW, data
analysis, detector calibration... If you can, please write that you don’t know many
individuals with such experience and that I am certainly above the average peers with
similar education.
You may mention that according to your knowledge I am invaluable for current XXX
projects using XXX detectors and cannot be substituted. You could point out that the
improvement of the radiation measurement in space, which I brought to these projects,
make impact to whole community and your lab among many others will benefit from
that.

[Please state that my past contribution in projects regarding XXX detectors was in
national interest and you believe that I will continue in such significant contribution also
in the future. It would not be reasonable to let me, such an expert, go from this country
away and contribute to other country. Because of these reasons you recommend me
without doubt for approving Permanent Residency]

[Please note that USCIS officer can contact you whether they have some questions.]

With best regards,

[your signature]
