Case Summary:

A well known research scientist from India contacted North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help her file an EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) petition. Seeing that EB-1B is an employer-sponsored visa category, she had to garner her employer’s full support before hiring us. Once her employer provided us with the relevant paperwork required to file the petition, our attorneys and support staff immediately got to work putting together a strong EB-1B case for our client. By the time we were ready to file the case, we had accumulated a wealth of information pertaining to our client’s professional and academic background. Here are the selected bits of information that we included in the petition packet:

Peer Review Experience: At the time of filing, our client had already participated in 19 reviews of highly acclaimed journals and conferences. This remarkable record showcased her capabilities as a leading researcher in the field of molecular biology.
Citation and Publication Count: Thanks to Google Scholar and other similar references, we determined that our client’s 9 peer-reviewed scientific articles had gathered 234 citations.
Research Projects: In order to prove to the USCIS that our client’s work is of inherent value to the United States, we first had to understand every aspect of it. We started by reviewing her research on novel disease treatments and the role of genetic mutations in liver cirrhosis. We also established that her research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding how to improve treatments for medical conditions of the liver and heart.
Additional Information: The customized EB-1B petition packet which we arranged for our client also included tables and figures to indicate that our client’s publications have been cited at a much higher rate than those of other researchers in the field, distinguishing her from her peers.
Testimonials: To further fortify our client’s EB-1B petition, we included recommendation letters signed by other experts in the field who were familiar with her work. One of them stated, “These facts show the need for skilled researchers such as [client] who specialize in characterizing and developing treatments for cardiovascular conditions. Clearly, [client’s] work is relevant on an industrial level, and it is also pursuant to the national public health of the United States as a whole.”

Thanks to PP (Premium Processing), our client’s case was adjudicated in just 4 days. PP is a paid option offered by the USCIS that allows petitioners to enjoy accelerated adjudication (the case will be processed within 15 days instead of 9-12 months). We congratulate our client for securing an EB-1B petition approval and wish her the best as she continues to advance the field of molecular biology.
