Case Summary:

Our EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) client from the United Kingdom is one of the few leading brain development experts in neuroscience. He is especially well-known for pioneering methodologies for brain analysis using non-traditional/innovative living models including aquatic models. With such an impressive background we were certain of the victory of his EB1-A case even as we were preparing his petition packet. Since the category demands a clear indication of extraordinary ability, we made sure that the petition packet had all relevant information from his academic and professional career. We were thus able to collect the following:

That the field has recognized his authority by inviting him to review and evaluate the work of his peers no fewer than 12 times.
That he has actively engaged his peers in the field of neuroscience by authoring 14 peer-reviewed articles and 2 laboratory protocols that have been published in international journals.
Due to its great applicability in the field, his research in neuroscience has been cited 754 times in other peer-reviewed journal articles according to Google Scholar.
We also attached evidence of his major funding sources such as the NIH (NHLBI, NIGMS), MRC, etc.
Finally, we used 4 letters of support from other experts, a few of which is quoted below:

“After a thorough discussion of his research, an analysis of his influence on the national and international scientific community, and providing objective evidence of the public relevance of his work, it is undeniable that [the client] is a true leader in his field. This letter, therefore, affirms [client’s] instrumental role in the field of neuroscience and maintains that his successful enhancements to our understanding of sleep evince his preparedness to continue contributing highly valuable findings to the United States and the world.”

“[The client’s] accomplishments are an objective substantiation of the multitude of benefits his dedicated research holds for the United States and the health and wellbeing of its population.”

We were thus overjoyed to hear of the approval of his case in 29 days. Thanks to the premium processing upgrade and our team effort, the approval process was effortless. We thank and congratulate our client on the approval of his EB1-A request.
