I gather that you are interested in the EB-1A category for extraordinary aliens. That would require much more than what you have detailed about your qualifications in your question. To even consider you under this category, you would have to substantiate criteria in 3 areas such as national or internationally recognized prizes or awards, membership in associations in the field which require outstanding achievements for you to join, published material about you in professional or major trade publications or other major media, evidence of your participation as a judge of the work of others, proof of your original scientific contribution of major significance in your field, evidence of your scholarship of scholarly articles in the field in professional or major trade publications or other major media, proof that you have performed in a leading or critical role for an organization that has a distinguished reputation, evidence of you commanding a high salary or other significantly high remuneration in relation to others in your field.
