Success Story: EB1a (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Postdoc Biomedical Researcher

Client’s Testimonial:

[Chen Immigration Team] is a detail-oriented attorney and an expert in immigration law. They do a honest evaluation and if they agree to take up your case, be assured that it will be approved. I got my Eb1A petition approved through them. Within just 3 months of signing with them, I had the approval notice in hand. They do an excellent work of drafting reference and petition letters that the application will fly through. I doubt if I would have able to get the approval without them, at least not in this timespan. I would highly recommend them to anyone trying to file an immigration petition.

Case Summary:

In this specific case, a client was filing an EB1a (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) case aimed to demonstrate that she had risen to the top of her field of endeavor, sustained national and/or international acclaim through her professional accomplishments, and that her achievements had qualified her as deserving of permanent residence in the United States. Although providing these qualifications may seem daunting to those unfamiliar with the criteria required for the gathering of necessary evidence, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates are considerably experienced in the filing of these petitions. Not only have we developed proven strategies surrounding the best possible execution of each petition, we modify these strategies for each client’s specific case.

In this particular case, we were required to provide an in-depth analysis associated with the proof of extraordinary ability related to this client’s work. In order to do so, we broke down this evidence into several sections each establishing support for the client’s extraordinary ability in their field of endeavor. First, we provided documentation of this client’s participation as a judge of the work of others. As the petitioner had significant experience as a peer reviewer for internationally-recognized and prestigious scientific field journals, it was crucially important to identify these exhibits for citation. In addition to procuring this evidence, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates assisted in the drafting of eight recommendation letters, including six recommendation letters from independent advisory opinions, in order to offer specific testimony associated with the original scientific contributions of major significance. As this client had spent a significant portion of her research in the investigation of electrophoresis techniques, chromatographic techniques, immunoblotting, and molecular biology techniques, it was vital to represent the importance of these investigations and their link to her substantial contributions.

Furthermore, as this client had published a number of first authored articles, it was significantly important to emphasize the contributions propagated through these articles on the national and international level. Additionally, as these published works had been cited 212 times by international researchers at the time of this filing, it was important to display how the client’s work has influenced the field, showing evidence of its impact thorough the utilization of top analytics and data gathering software.

Finally, in order to supply further support for a swift decision on this client’s case, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates highlighted AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) decisions ruled in favor of clients with less citations, and/or less impressive credentials.

Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued research, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition in only 22 days.

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!
