Case Summary:

A postdoctoral fellow from Israel approached us to help him file an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition. Our client, who has a Ph.D. in genetics, conducts original research in the cancer field. In our petition to the USCIS, we proved that understanding how cells transition into tumors allows us to interfere with this process. We demonstrated that using a genomic approach to uncover the mechanisms behind cancer growth is a novel and valuable method to improve cancer treatments.

“I have no doubt that [Client’s] work will continue to take the scientific community to new heights of understanding in the development of novel stem cell-based treatments for cancer. As such, the continuation of his research benefits the daily lives of individuals across the globe. [Client’s] work is of immense value to several industries, and has substantial merit in furthering his field of study.”

This quote is excerpted from one of the recommendation letters contributed by experts in our client’s field. These letters were included in the EB-1A petition alongside our client’s professional record. This record comprised of summaries of his findings and data on his almost two dozen published papers, peer review contributions, and 1237 citations.

As our client opted for Premium Processing, his I-140 was approved in just 47 days. North America Immigration Law Group joins our client in celebrating this milestone.
