I wish to immigrate and for that I need to stand out from the other applicants I assumed the easiest way would be through publications.

It was IEEE that's one of the flagship organization in STEM

If your field is computer science or eng, publishing in one of the A ranking conferences for your field is as good as top journal publishing

Getting accepted is a nightmare

I would use accepted papers as an example, I find that usually helps

Thanks but are telling me to build over their work

Not exactly, you should do what interests you. I meant as in look at accepted papers for tips on organization, flow, how to explain your methodology and present figures etc. Really great research can suffer sometimes if no one can understand your methodology or your motivation for your experiments. But of course besides that it’s helpful if the presented work is meaningful and impactful for your field (your project advisor can help scope this)
