Case Summary:

It took North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) several months to put together a strong EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition dossier for our client before we were ready to file it. 24 days after we did so, our client decided to upgrade his case to Premium Processing. Merely 13 days after the upgrade, the USCIS sent us an approval notice. In preparing our client’s EB-1A petition, we made sure to draw attention to the following details:

Impressive Citation Count: Using Google Scholar and other relevant websites such as Scopus, we determined that our client’s work had gathered 134 citations at the time of filing.
Noteworthy Publication Record: Our client’s extensive experience in the field of biochemistry was emphasized by his various research projects that used molecular biology and biochemistry in the treatment of infectious diseases and breast cancer. When we filed his EB-1A petition, his work had resulted in the publication of 18 well-received scientific articles.
Outstanding Peer Review Experience: As only leaders in their respective fields are invited to assess the work of their peers, our client’s experience reviewing 40 articles/manuscripts for high impact scientific journals indicated his high standing in the field.

Accompanying the aforementioned documentation of our client’s professional performance were recommendation letters signed by other experts working in the field of biochemistry. These experts were suitable recommenders as they had either worked with our client or were very familiar with his research results. These experts discussed everything from our client’s Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology to the value of his research to the United States, most notably the country’s medical sector. Here is what one of them said about our client: “As a representative of United States biomedical research science, [Client] has helped maintain your country’s reputation as a frontrunner of cancer research within the international community. It is absolutely in the best interest of your country’s research community, as well as the millions of people affected by the disease around the world each year, that his work continue uninterrupted.”

We congratulate our client for obtaining an EB-1A petition approval, and we wish him the best with his I-485 application. We sincerely hope that he accomplishes his goal of obtaining permanent residence and that he will be allowed to continue progressing the field of biochemistry in the United States.
