Case Summary:

A little over 7 months after North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) filed an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on behalf of a gifted staff scientist from India, Nebraska Service Center approved his petition. With a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry and extensive experience working in the field of applied synthetic chemistry, we are not surprised that our client obtained petition approval. These are some of the main points that we highlighted in preparing his petition packet:

Citation Record: Using Google Scholar and other sites such as Scopus, we determined that our client’s work had gathered 175 citations at the time of filing—a testament to the fact that his findings are being utilized by numerous researchers around the world.
Publications: Our client’s fieldwork has led to the publication of 18 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences—an impressive record.
Recommendation Letters: To strengthen our client’s EB-1A petition, we encouraged him to reach out to a handful of his peers and ask them to sign recommendation letters. Six of them agreed to lend their support, one of whom stated that “[Client] is an exceptionally talented scientist in the field of Alzheimer’s disease research. [Client] conducts outstanding research in this highly specialized field… so that his research may continue unimpeded, to the benefit of the millions of Americans suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.”
Peer Review Experience: As only the cream of the crop are invited to conduct peer reviews for top journals, our client’s peer review record was documented in his petition packet—at the time of filing, he had already conducted 19 reviews.
Research Projects: To prove to the USCIS that our client is an asset to the US, we accounted for his work on synthesizing therapeutic compounds and designing novel imaging agents for the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, cancers, viral infections, and numerous other health conditions. We then demonstrated that our client’s investigations address some of our nation’s most pressing issues in the early diagnosis and effective treatment of many prevalent and fatal conditions.

We congratulate our client for obtaining a highly sought-after EB-1A petition approval and we look forward to helping him and his dependents obtain their green cards.
