Contact some journal editors and review several papers (may be about five) and youll have strong chances. Which USCIS center you belong to?
Reviewing papers should be the easiest part. Journals dont have to be very selective.

thanks for your response.
That is my concerns for my application. I do not have any experience of reviewing papers although I have some but not officially. Ill try to contact editors of journal that is related to my field.
is that routine way to get a chance to review by contacting editor of journal?
by the way, I will submit my petition to Texas.
I agree with alex09,
With some journal review, you increase your chances a lot.
I would start from the same journals that id submitted before.
I would say you satisfy scholarly authorship and contribution to the field, and reviewing would get the third one (judge of works of others).
good luck.
