EB-1 Visa Processing for medical doctors

Submitted by Chief Editor on Apr 5th 2010

I am working towards filing under EB-1 green card, currently on H-1B. Is there a certain number of publications in peer reviewed journals, presentations at international meetings that would make the application more likely to go through than not?
