Case Summary:

A Chinese postdoctoral fellow who holds a Ph.D. in Integrative Biology, engaged North America Immigration Law Group’s services to help him obtain a green card. His work is crucial to the United States’ healthcare sector, and we proved this to the USCIS by presenting them with a well-balanced EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition dossier. Our client, whose research focuses on the underlying mechanisms of myocardial injury and heart diseases, as well as on novel targets for the treatment of leukemia, received his I-140 approval notice nearly a year later.

The lengthy adjudication timeline was because the USCIS issued a Request for Evidence (RFE). Our team immediately took the appropriate measures to address the RFE and effectively persuaded the USCIS to approve our client’s EB-1A petition.

In our petition dossier, we included several testimonials contributed by leaders in our client’s field of biomedical science. One of the recommenders stated, “[Client] greatly improved our knowledge of complex and essential regulatory proteins for the betterment of cardiac treatment. The continuation of [Client’s] work in this area of research is essential to further developments in cardiology research, and I know that [Client’s] work is highly important to the United States.” Other noteworthy documents that we submitted exemplified implementation of our client’s research. We provided the USCIS with evidence that our client’s work had earned him 154 citations, all of which were gathered from his 13 publications. We also proved the weight of his insights by including his peer review record.

We are pleased that our efforts have brought our client significantly closer to his green card, and we wish him the best in his future research.
