Just spoke with someone who is currently a BCS and IET fellow.
He also got approved for EB-1A.
Here are 3 insights from our conversation:
Becoming an IET fellow is not the only way to get involved in IET. There are other ways to get involved (such as becoming a peer reviewer, conducting professional review interviews for Chartered Engineer, etc.).
When going for these fellowships, you need to understand how to present your application. To develop this understanding, you will need to carefully review the criteria for these fellowships and also learn about the organizations behind these fellowships (which means getting involved first as a general member and attending events to speak to more senior members).
A lot of applicants go in with a lot of assumptions, some of which are incorrect. Verify your assumptions by talking to current fellows if possible so that you do not end up presenting an application that is not as strong as it could have been.
