Case Summary:

In this EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) case, a postdoctoral fellow from China approached North America Immigration Law Group to help him navigate the complex green card process. He needed a professional to help him refine and strengthen his petition—two things that our legal team is excellent at.

Our carefully prepared EB-1A petition dossier was composed of a wealth of information on our client’s achievements. For instance, we documented his 6 highly-cited, peer-reviewed scientific articles, various presentations at national and international conferences, and 1 book chapter. We also highlighted the 109 citations to his work as well as the 31 times he conducted peer reviews for more than a dozen scientific journals. Most importantly, we meticulously detailed our client’s research on the role of telomerase and its associated factors in cancer development, as well as the control of cell fate for regenerative medicine. Our petition dossier proved that not only do our client’s findings benefit the field of biomedical research, they also progress the United States healthcare system. Our claim was supported by other influential researchers in the field, several of whom volunteered recommendation letters. One of these recommenders stated, “Based on these substantial contributions to the health of the U.S. public, I believe that [Client] is an eminently qualified and world-class scientist, whose continued research is necessary for ongoing progress in the medical community and is sure to continue to benefit the U.S. for years to come. I therefore support without reservation his petition to remain in the United States.”

Our client chose to upgrade his EB-1A petition to Premium Processing nearly two months after we filed the case, and he received an approval notice from the USCIS just 12 days after the upgrade. We extend our warmest congratulations to our client and wish him the best as he advances the field of biomedical research
