Whether upgrade to PP or not
My PD is 10/30 2024 and TSC. Currently in F1 OPT and recently started tenure track faculty position. I had 4 research paper (2 first authors) and 1 conference proceeding paper and 1 extension paper with 168 citations when filing and was in my 4th year of my PhD. Now I have 3 more papers published this year and 3 more submitted (pending). I also completed 4 peer reviews this year. My university agreed to file H1-b but not Eb1-b. Both Chen and EP told me I have a decent chance of EB1-A. But chen recommended me against PP for my NIW. One reason for PP is I wanted to apply H1B, H4 and H4-EAD together rather than H4 EAD separately for my spouse, which requires approved I140. Guys any thoughts and suggestions for PP? Also if you are in TSC, which date is currently being proposed under normal processing?
