Chen Immigration Law Associates recently received an EB1A approval for a postdoctoral research associate. This client is an extraordinary researcher who seeks to continue her work in the area of biomedical science in the US. This client conducts research in the highly specialized areas of proteomics, cell biology, molecular biology, and pediatrics, all with a focus on fighting some of the most devastating gastrointestinal disorders and liver diseases. Furthermore, this client has presented in 6 prestigious symposiums and conferences nationwide. Our client’s substantial contributions to the field are also recognized by other experts in her field, most notably in a statement by a fellow researcher who stated, “Her past success suggests that her current and future work will be equally or more impressive; when even a scientist’s Ph.D. work has gained international recognition, it is certain that she is fated to contribute great findings to her colleagues and to the world.” It was our goal to prove that this client qualifies for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability given that she wishes to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability, and her continued research will substantially and prospectively benefit the United States.
