Case Summary:

In EB1-B/EB1-OR cases we at Chen Immigration Law and Associates treat each case in a manner that guarantees a swift and decisive approval. For this EB1-B case we followed our case methodology by proving five criteria: our client’s employer was a qualifying petitioner with the ability to pay, our client had at least three years of research experience in their academic field, our client was an internationally recognized researcher/professor, our client had proof of international recognition as outstanding, and lastly our client sought to enter the United States to conduct research on a permanent basis.

In this case, the petitioner is a small start-up company where most of their funds are from venture capital firm. They employ 10 full-tine researchers, 7 of whom hold a Ph.D. Moreover to show the petitioner has proven academic achievements, we used the fact that this employer has had their researchers present their advanced and original findings in the area of organic chemistry at professional conferences across the United States that are attended by highly-esteemed national and international researchers. In addition, this employer had filed several patent applications further proving this company’s credibility and accomplishments.

To prove that our client was internationally recognized in his research, we highlighted their academic background, especially their Ph.D. from an esteemed university. Furthermore, as is followed in all EB-1 cases we illustrated that our client had a respectable amount of citations (at least 142).

In addition to this client’s academic successes, we had to supply further evidence to meet the standards set by the law. We did this by obtaining the highest quality of recommendation letters from both this client’s current colleagues as well as unaffiliated researchers in this client’s field of study.

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 March 11th 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!
