Case Summary:

A postdoctoral fellow from China hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on his behalf. With a doctoral degree and extensive research experience, our client seemed like he possessed extraordinary ability in the field of pharmacology. To prove this point to the USCIS, we worked diligently to gather a wealth of information that supported our case. These are some of the key points we focused on:

We noted our client’s 13 publications (11 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles and 2 abstracts) and demonstrated that this is a productive and exemplary record compared to that of his peers in the same field.
Using Google Scholar, we confirmed that our client’s work had amassed 152 citation at the time of filing, proving that he has made significant contributions documented by his publications, as his achievements have been widely recognized and relied upon in the field of pharmacology.
Another important point we highlighted was his peer review record. By the time we were ready to file his EB1A petition, he had already conducted over 40 reviews for numerous scientific journals.

Presenting our client’s research:

As we had to prove that our client is an asset to the United States, we carefully reviewed and understood his research efforts in order to build a strong case for him. We learned that his work is focused on the development of novel therapeutic strategies for combating cancer and other diseases. Furthermore, we established that his efforts address some of our nation’s most pressing issues in discovering and producing new, more effective drugs, which benefits public health in the US. Several of our client’s peers hailed the value of his research via recommendation letters. According to one of them: “[Client’s] continued efforts are absolutely necessary to the ongoing advancement of clinical medicine, and I am confident that he will continue to produce vital research in the coming years. It is clear that the U.S. should secure [Client’s] presence in the country.”

Despite our best efforts, our client’s EB1A petition was issued a Request for Evidence (RFE). This did not deter our team, and we promptly put together a convincing response that proved the legitimacy of our client’s credentials. Not long after the USCIS received our comprehensive response package, they approved our client’s EB1A petition. We congratulate him for coming this far in the green card process, and we wish him the best as he adjusts his status for permanent residence by filing an I-485 application.
