Case Summary:

The North America Immigration Law Group had been hired to assist an Indian principal scientist in filing an EB-1A petition on her behalf. To do so, the petitioner must meet at least 3 of the 6 following criteria.

Evidence of receipt of major prizes or awards for outstanding achievement.
Evidence of membership in associations that require their members to demonstrate outstanding achievement.
Evidence of published material in professional publications written by others about the noncitizen’s work in the academic field.
Evidence of participation, either on a panel or individually, as a judge of the work of others in the same or allied academic field.
Evidence of original scientific or scholarly research contributions in the field.
Evidence of authorship of scholarly books or articles (in scholarly journals with international circulation) in the field.

After an investigation into our client’s background, our team determined that she would be able to present a strong case, and thus began to prepare her individualized petition, containing the following details:

We first noted her publishing record of 9 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 first-authored), 1 first-authored peer-reviewed conference article, 2 abstracts, and 4 technical reports (1 lead-authored). In addition, her works have been published in some of the most discerning journals within her field.
In addition, her work has been cited a staggering amount of 9,366 times, making her one of the most cited authors in her field.
She has also been active in the review process, having previously done 18 peer reviews of her fellow experts’ work, which is a task that is given only to researchers in high regard within the community.
Her research would also benefit the United States, as her research has greatly advanced the national interest through understanding the prevalence and trends of different cancer types. This would allow for better health outcomes for the millions of Americans who suffer from cancer currently.
4 fellow experts in the field further provided insight into the significance of her continuing research in the field, one of whom remarked.

“It is clear that [Client] is a cancer epidemiology researcher at the highest echelon of our field. She has proven her expertise through her impactful research into social, ethnic, and socioeconomic health outcome disparities as well as through her widely published and cited findings. As such, [Client]’s record of achievement to date more than evidences the indispensability of her research to the US.”

Thanks to the efforts of our dedicated team, we were successful in arguing for the approval of her EB-1A petition, in addition to the premium processing service offered by the USCIS. We are thankful for her faith in our firm and wish her success in her research.
