Case Summary:

A senior biostatistician contacted our law firm to help her establish her significant contributions to the U.S. by filing for an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition. We presented her exceptional professional background and unparalleled experience important to her current and future work at the USCIS.

Upon reviewing her credentials, we found that our client has an M.B.B.S. and has accomplished a great publication record in her field. Her research resulted in:

11 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them first-authored), 1 accepted journal article, and 6 conference abstracts (1 of them first-authored), and these papers have been published in some of the most discerning, high-impact journals in her field of expertise.
She has conducted at least 75 reviews for journals to date, and her work has been cited by other scholars in numerous published articles as well.
According to Google Scholar, her work has been cited 394 times in at least 42 countries.

Furthermore, her biostatistics and pharmacoepidemiology research addresses some of the nation’s and the world’s most pressing issues, including challenges in medical education, data analysis in healthcare, and advancements in emergency medicine. She has a solid foundation in statistical analysis within the context of public health.

Her research focuses on studying medication-related outcomes in populations and utilizing administrative databases. Her expertise has allowed her to conduct original research, resulting in her success in fundamentally transforming biostatistics and pharmacoepidemiology research.

Her case was further supported by four recommendation letters that she obtained from her fellow experts in the field. One of the recommenders stated:

“[Client’s] outstanding achievements have tremendous significance for epidemiology research communities in the United States and abroad. The unabridged involvement of [client] in scientific investigation in the United States is especially critical for the epidemiology field because her work is a major asset for improving SDL dynamics in medical and dental education. Hence, in my opinion, the continuance of [Client’s] research in this space is necessary.”

Our team’s efforts successfully paid off in conveying to the USCIS that our client is an extraordinary researcher who seeks to enter the United States to continue working in her field of expertise. Her extraordinary ability has been demonstrated by sustained international acclaim, and her achievements in the field have been recognized through implementation by others and extensive citation of her work

We would like to congratulate her on securing EB1A approval even after waiting for a long time. She even received her I-140 NIW approval in the past. We wish her to receive her green card as soon as possible.
