Case Summary:

When filing EB1A (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) it is crucial that the preparer establishes sufficient evidentiary support in order to give each client the best possible chance for a swift approval. With this in mind, it is important to note that even strong cases can be denied if evidence is not correctly organized and presented.

With this in consideration, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates take special notice to EB1-A (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) cases, as they typically require a high level of meticulousness in order to correctly organize each piece of evidence to support the regulatory criteria required for a favorable ruling.

In this specific case, the client worked in the field of Educational Technology, developing innovative, interactive, and discipline-specific technologies to enhance mathematics teaching and learning. Although this may sound extremely important, and the development of these technologies may be in the national interest, this case required additional evidence establishing this petitioner as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability.

As this petitioner had authored a publication that appeared seventh among a list of 52,400 articles, and published additional journals that had relatively high impact factors, we referenced these works to help establish this client as a unique talent.

In addition to referencing the impact factor and impressive analytics associated with this client’s unique and extraordinary ability, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates highlighted the extremely high skillset of this client, as he had served as peer reviewer for at least 4 distinctive and internationally-circulated journals, including two of the top journals in his field. This experience reviewing the work of others, applied to the required criteria of providing evidence that this client had been recognized in the field of his expertise.

To emphasize the original scientific contributions of major significance this client had made to the field of Educational Technology, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates procured eleven recommendation letters to be reviewed, edited, and signed by the client’s recommenders. Once the letters were signed by the applicable parties, we used these letters to provide significant testimony referencing both the important contributions and benefits these contributions will have to this client’s field, as well as the extraordinary ability associated with making numerous innovations and discoveries in the field of Educational Technology.

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.
