I don't know the legal details, but basically your employer has to
prove that you are important for the country (vatever zat means). It
is lots of paper work on your side: as you have to collect not only
your diplomas, work certificate, proves of awards/grants, etc. but
also papers you published, papers that reference your work, articles
in the technical/mass press about you/your work, solid reference
letters, proves about your services/that you have
organized/participated in panels/conferences/etc.,
Once you have all this is, the procedure is straightforward.
Actually, I don't know whether or not you need all this at all.
Probably a single publication in Nature is enough (but I don't have
one..)
Anyways, here is the list of things I was asked to collect:
1. Award or prize for excellence in the field.
2. Memberships that require outstanding achievement.
3. Published material about the alien's work (e.g., from the
Science Citation Index).
4. Participation on a panel or as a judge in the field.
5. Original scientific, sholarly, or business-related contributions.
6. Authorship of scholarly articles.
7. Employment in a critical or essential capacity in distinguished
organizations (e.g., on an NSF research grant).
8. Commanded a high salary.
Hope this helps.
Best,
-Berthe
