Case Summary:

In EB1-B/EB1-OR cases we at Chen Immigration Law 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 : 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 was a bio-medical start-up company where most of their funds were from a venture capital firm. They employed 17 full-time researchers, 9 of whom hold a Ph.D. Moreover, this firm owns multiple patents filed in the U.S., which showcases the superb and innovative nature of this company’s research.

To prove that our client had at least three years of research experience and was an internationally recognized researcher in their academic field we highlighted this client’s eight years of work through his publications. His work has resulted in at least 4 peer-reviewed scientific articles in leading journals and 15 conference proceedings. Moreover, our client had been invited to present his research findings at numerous international recognized conferences including the 1st and 2nd International Conference on Stem Cell Engineering and many Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meetings.

We also included independent advisory letters from researchers and professors who have not worked with our client but rather are familiar with their work through their original scientific publications and international reputation. In this case we drafted five independent letters including statements such as: “What is most impressive is that high profile and experienced researchers had been trying to create a working screening platform for these candidates for years, and Dr. X developed an effective technology in as few as six months. Identifying these candidates is an integral part of the testing process to effectively. . .[develop] therapeutic antibodies to treat diseases such as the flu, staph infections, and even cancer” and “With 14 years of distinguished research experience focusing on stem cells and antibodies, Dr. X has proven himself expert on multiple areas of the science from therapeutic antibodies to stem cell differentiation.”

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 28th 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!
