Case Summary:

A prominent researcher originally from India, who completed their PhD and postdoctoral training in the USA and is currently an assistant professor, contacted our firm for assistance with filing an EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) petition. EB-1B is an employer-sponsored visa category, thus our client needed to secure the employer’s full support before proceeding with our services. Once the employer provides the necessary documentation, our attorneys and support staff will promptly begin assembling a strong EB-1B case on her behalf.

When preparing to submit the petition, we gathered extensive information about our client’s professional and academic achievements. Below are some highlights included in the petition packet:

Our client has summarized her research successes in 5 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 first-authored) and 9 abstracts (4 of them first-authored).
Our client has completed a minimum of 55 reviews in total. Only leading experts in their respective fields are selected for this crucial review work, which highlights her significant reputation in the discipline.
Our client’s publication has been cited more than 136 times, with one article being in the top 10.0% most cited article in Immunology during the respective year.
Our client’s study has been funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). This funding supports projects that promote cancer research to help individuals live longer and healthier lives, therefore, her research aligns with the organization’s goals by outlining the cellular factors putting older individuals at higher risk of developing autoimmune diseases.

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:

“[Client’s] findings have provided invaluable therapeutic targets for treating mitochondrial disorders, suggesting that enhancing the assembly process mitigates disease symptoms. Her work has been pivotal for both the scientific community and for improving patient outcomes, as it has elucidated the mechanisms of mitochondrial diseases and uncovered new treatment targets.”

Thanks to Premium Processing (PP), our client’s case was approved in just 8 days. PP is a paid service provided by USCIS that enables petitioners to receive expedited processing (with cases handled within 15 days instead of the usual 9-12 months). We congratulate our client on her EB-1B petition approval and appreciate her choice to allow us to be part of her success story.
