Case Summary:

EB-1B (Employment-Based Immigration) petitions require the client to meet certain criteria in order for their petition to be approved. When the employer is the petitioner and the client is the beneficiary, it is vital that the client has documentation that continued employment will occur in the United States. In addition, the client must be able to demonstrate international recognition for outstanding achievements especially in their particular academic arena. Additionally, the client must have at least 3 years of experience in teaching or research in their specific academic field and plan to pursue their research at an institution or University of higher education. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates were well equipped to meet these criteria to gain a swift approval for this case.

In this particular case, the petitioner was an employer from a Medical University who desired to continue this client’s work as an Instructional Support Associate in the field of Medicinal Chemistry. We assisted this client in obtaining explicit documentation that he indeed would continue employment in his area of academic expertise.

In addition, we demonstrated that this client had international recognition by drafting eight recommendation letters; five of these were from recommenders who had not known or personally worked with this client. Once these letters were drafted, the recommenders reviewed, edited, and signed them, supporting the client and his work. In order to document international acclaim, researchers from Norway, Australia, India and Tianjin gave expert testimony to the outstanding achievements of this client and how his work influenced theirs.

Furthermore, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates emphasized the credentials of this client by reinforcing the time spent in research and teaching in the past 4 years in the field of medicinal chemistry, specifically in the treatment of cancer, HIV/AIDS and autoimmune diseases. We used analytical software to validate the international influence of this clients work in high impact journals. In conclusion, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates cited relevant AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) decisions that helped improve the credentials of our clients based on previous cases that received favorable rulings with less impressive qualifications.

Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on February 4, 2013.

With this in consideration, it is important to emphasize that the processes and expertise practiced by Chen Immigration Law Associates. Not only do we develop the best possible strategies for each case, but we execute these strategies with the utmost effectiveness!
