Case Summary:

A recent client of ours was described as “[Client] has shown herself to be a woman unmatched by her peers in the highly specialized field of pain research. Her expertise in both neuropathic pain mechanisms and opioid pharmacology has put her into a very select group of experts conducting work in these fields.”

This quote is excerpted from a recommendation letter volunteered by an influential neuroscientist. His letter, and several others that our client managed to obtain from other experts, was incorporated into the well-balanced EB-1A petition dossier that North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) meticulously prepared for our client.

In this case, our client was a research assistant from China working in the field of neuroscience. Her work focuses on therapies for chronic pain and hyperalgesia and she has developed an extensive background in cell culture, electrophysiology, physiology, anesthesiology, and neuroscience. Our legal team firmly demonstrated that her studies contribute to the field of neuroscience, and we established that she will continue doing so within the United States. We also chronicled the 45 times she shared her insights with others in the field by assessing the work of other neuroscientists. Furthermore, we listed her 13 publications and the 151 citations they had amassed at the time of filing.

Overall, we raised two service requests and a follow up request once the adjudication timeline went beyond the average processing time. By handling all communication with the USCIS, we allowed our client to focus on her research. We are pleased that the USCIS ultimately granted their approval, and we join our client in celebrating this occasion.
