(五)勇于自荐,有一说一

谈完第二章 Substantial Merit and National Importance 之后,笔者带各位读者进入另一个深水区—第三章 I am Well-positioned to Advance the Proposed Endeavor。

Section 3.1 Background and Achievements 是学历的快速回顾,如果做的专题拿过奖项或是成绩优异而获颁书卷奖之类的奖学金,就可以特别提出来证明你的优秀,也可以提供简短描述让审核人员知道这奖项得来不易。我是提供当时获得罗家伦纪念奖学金的电子邮件通知以及校方简报作为证据,不用担心被质疑是说谎。教授也不必去翻帐簿来证实笔者是获奖人。以下引用其中一段。

Section 3.1 Background and Achievements

During my academic journey, I was honored to receive the prestigious Chia-Lun Lo Fellowship in January 2019 (Exhibit A6). This highly competitive fellowship exemplifies the university's commitment to recognizing academic excellence and supporting outstanding international students. Being one of the seven recipients out of a large applicant pool, the Chia-Lun Lo Fellowship provided both financial support and validation of my academic achievements and dedication to excellence. This recognition further fueled my drive to contribute significantly to my field.

Section 3.2 Qualifications and Certificates 笔者列举了受训获得的证书。我想各位 STEM 领域的申请者多少有点经验。机械工程的可能是 AutoCAD,资料科学的可能是 Azure 和 SQL,都可以放进来增加申请文件的强度。 以下引用其中一段。

Same year, I successfully completed the TR3029 Training by Beckhoff Automation. This comprehensive training program covers various aspects of system architecture, programming, configuration, diagnostics, and troubleshooting using Beckhoff technologies, a Windows-based platform. Through hands-on exercises and real-world scenarios, I acquired practical skills and in-depth knowledge in designing and maintaining Beckhoff automation systems.  
Section 3.3 Exceptional Contributions 检视在工作上的主要贡献,这部分各位读者就可以了解为甚么笔者在[申办绿卡] EB-2 NIW 国家利益豁免绿卡申请教学(四)撰写 Cover Letter—1中建议大家先整理履历,除了帮助你筛选出潜在的推荐人,也让你在描述自己贡献的时候更有条理。笔者在 Cover Letter 里一共列举了五项职场中参与/带领的专案。相信各位读者可以至少整理出三项来做申论。

特别注意的是,你列出来的点,可以加一些描述跟 Section 2.2 Proposed Endeavor 喊出来的口号做呼应,整篇 Cover Letter 才会首尾连贯、逻辑顺畅。以下引用的部分就是跟上一篇文章中提到的 1. Process Automation and Manufacturing Reimagination 做呼应;更理想的状况下,你还可以跟美国总统的行政命令或近期议会通过的法案做呼应。

而之前许多人问过的作品集,就是使用在这里来铺垫你的陈述,提升说服力。以下给大家参考。

3. Integration of Emerging Technology — Laser Thickness Measuring and Monitoring System

Amidst my journey at Inteplast Group, I embarked on another momentous project: the development of a Laser Thickness Measuring and Monitoring System. Driven by my determination to leverage cutting-edge technology and enhance our existing production equipment, I embraced this challenge. After careful evaluation, I identified the Allen-Bradley 5069-SERIAL input/output module as the optimal solution. However, I encountered a hurdle along the way: the module lacked a comprehensive official application guide. Undeterred, I delved into extensive research and launched a development journey to unravel the ideal configuration for seamless communication with our laser displacement sensors.

As I immersed myself in understanding the module's intricacies, I recognized the significance of sharing my findings with the wider engineering community. It resonates with the principles emphasized in the PCAST report (Exhibit B3) that fostering open-source collaboration environments for the creation of large and complex systems can empower the domestic manufacturing industry by democratizing the design innovation process and harnessing the expertise of a diverse talent pool. In line with this philosophy and to contribute to the democratization of knowledge, I took the initiative to author an Application Note (Exhibit A24), offering comprehensive insights into the configuration process.

Furthermore, I created an instructional video that meticulously outlines the precise steps for utilizing the 5069-SERIAL module. This commitment to knowledge dissemination has struck a chord with the engineering community, evident from the remarkable success of the video, garnering over 1,900 views and continuing to gain traction. Witnessing the wide-reaching impact of the knowledge I have shared is truly gratifying. Through this project, I not only exemplified my dedication to engineering community engagement but also showcased my fervent passion for integrating revolutionary engineering solutions. 
倒数第二个小节 Section 3.4 Evidence of Influence,如果你的作品集有被引用,或是你的论文有被引用,这里就可以拿出来(显摆)证明你有一说一,没有膨胀自己的影响力。然后记得再跟官方文件做一个强力的连结。

My commitment aligns with President Biden’s objective of guaranteeing that the fruit of science and technology are fully shared across America and among all Americans, ultimately benefiting society by providing resilient and efficient manufacturing. For comprehensive information of the President’s objective, kindly consult A Letter to Dr. Eric S. Lander, the President’s Science Advisor and Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (Exhibit B7) .

最后一个小节 Section 3.5 Summary,就是在简短的一页之内,帮审核人员做一个重点整理(你也可以当成是TL; DR.)。笔者是按照 Section 3.1 一段, Section 3.2 一段, Section 3.3 和 Section 3.4 再写成最后一段的比例来分配。

各位读者如果按部就班、亦步亦趋的执行,到这里就完成 Cover Letter 里两个最吃力的章节。

(六)PERM 与 LC,弃之可矣

第四章 It Would be Beneficial to Waive the Labor Certification 的起手式大家都差不多,笔者直接引用在下方当读者福利。

I firmly believe that a labor certification, which primarily focuses on minimum requirements, fails to adequately capture the extent of my achievements and the value I bring to the manufacturing sector. Allow me to present my case based on the following points:
剩下的部分因为每个申请者条件各异,在此只引用通用性较广的部分。下方摘录的论点来自[申办绿卡] EB-2 NIW 国家利益豁免绿卡申请教学(四)撰写 Cover Letter—1中提过的 O*NET OnLine,以其数据来支持我对缺工窘境的描述,以及未来成长幅度大于 STEM 平均值的前景。

Additionally, it is important to note the projected growth rate of 21.1% from 2021 to 2031 in this field, which is nearly twice the rate of the broader STEM sector (10.8%) as indicated in the BLS Employment Projection 2021-2031 (Exhibit B10 and B11). These statistics highlight not only the personal benefits of waiving the labor certification requirement but also the invaluable contribution I make and the value of my engineering expertise to the national interest.

(七)一禀身分,再表住所

如果你从头到尾身分清白,没有任何非法居留或犯法行为,第五章 Petitioner's Nonimmigrant Status 应该相当简单。笔者简单交代原本是以 F-1 签证入境,后来申请了 OPT 以及 STEM OPT 以便在美国工作并获得实务经验,还有 EAD 于甚么时候到期,并于甚么时候转为 B-2 身分。如此这般,这个章节就可以告一段落。

如果有搞不清楚 VISA 和 Status 差别的读者,可以读这篇[UMAA] 申请转换学生身分 F-1 到旅游身分 B-2 好好了解一下。

最后,说到禀身分、表住所,大概没有比这个段落更经典的了。各位读者放松完,笔者再带你研究如何申请绿卡。

(八)艰难玉成,打完收工

如果摸着笔者垒的石头过河,到这里已经可以写 Cover Letter 的最后一章结论了。如果不擅长写摘要和总结,那也无妨。除了幻想,人工智慧最擅长的其中一件事就是总结。以下笔者会带大家跟人工智慧玩角色扮演,以法律人的写作风格来改写你的 Cover Letter。

(九)调教 ChatGPT,AI 律师

跟 ChatGPT 玩角色扮演的时候给了以下设定。

  • Born and raised in the New England area
  • Have a Bachelor's degree in Controls Engineering from the University of Michigan
  • Accumulated Five years of work experience as Controls Engineer at Emerson
  • Possess a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Michigan 
  • Specialize in immigration law with 20 years of experience

因为之前有人已经做过实验比较有无角色扮演在对话上的区别,笔者就没有再测试这样的设定对于给出来的答案有没有影响。

设定完之后,笔者会把初稿丢给 AI 律师润稿,并且要求以 Legal Writing 的风格改写,写出来的专业度对于我这个英语是第三语言的人来说,是遥不可及的,因此推荐各位读者一试。

但要注意的是,人工智慧会有幻想,各位申请者务必要审慎逐字检查内容,以免像下方影片中的律师案例搞了大乌龙。

必要时,还是跟真正的律师约时间做谘询,以免省了小钱,赔了时间跟大钱。 

笔者亦有以下文章,敬请指教。
