Case Summary:

Texas Service Center (TSC) found our client, an Indian postdoctoral researcher, to be a deserving candidate for EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability). The fact that her work aids the United States in the development of nanomaterials for the accurate, sensitive, and early detection of cancer undoubtedly paved the way for EB-1A approval. Before establishing an attorney-client relationship, North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) carefully studied our client’s credentials to determine their veracity. Once we were assured that her credentials qualified her for EB-1A, we counter-signed the retainer agreement and got to work building her case.

With 50 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 5 peer-reviewed book chapters and her experience of judging the work of her peers for 30 times, we demonstrated to the USCIS that our client is an extraordinary researcher who deserves to remain in the US to conduct her research. We also detailed the 2,114 times her work was cited by other notable experts around the world.

“[Client’s] research has provided an astounding alternative treatment for breast cancers, particularly those with noted aggression and advanced spread. Her work has far-reaching influence, expanding beyond providing treatment for only breast cancer and applies to cancers of all types. The field of nanomedicine has embraced this research and used it accordingly for further investigations into the use of her dynamic nanosystems.” This statement was taken from a recommendation letter in support of our client’s EB-1A petition. Several other experts also contributed recommendation letters, all of which provided the USCIS with a clear picture of our client’s expertise in the field of nanomedicine.

The customized EB-1A petition packet which we arranged for our client also included a table to indicate that our client’s publications have been cited at a much higher rate than those of other researchers in the field, distinguishing her from her peers.

Our client received her approval notification exactly 10 months after filing. With abundant experience working with clients in virtually all fields of expertise, we are well equipped to handle every circumstance that might arise when filing an I-140 immigration petition. We truly appreciate our client for trusting us with the preparation of her EB-1A case and for giving us an opportunity to be a part of her success story.
