Client’s Testimonial:

On March 2^nd, 2017, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Field of Analytical Chemistry (Approval Notice).

General Field: Analytical Chemistry

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Researcher

Country of Origin: China

Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Ohio

Approval Notice Date: March 2^nd, 2017

Processing Time: 3 Days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

Just 3 days after North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) filed an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on behalf of a Chinese postdoctoral researcher, the USCIS granted their approval. The reason the petition was processed so quickly is largely thanks to Premium Processing (PP), a paid option that allows petitioners to have action taken on their cases within 15 days.

So what exactly did our client’s winning EB1A petition contain? For one, we included several recommendation letters that supported the value of his work to the United States. These letters were contributed by other experts working in the field of analytical chemistry, all of whom are familiar with our client’s research. According to one of them: “Few scientists have the technical skills necessary to perform such complex work, and [Client] has consistently demonstrated his ability to produce research of the utmost quality. He will surely maintain his record of great work in the future, and the United States has benefited and continues to benefit from his presence in the country.” We were very careful in selecting these recommenders and made sure that our client’s meritorious achievements were detailed in their letters.

We also incorporated data related to our client’s publication and citation record. Using Google Scholar, we confirmed that our client’s 14 publications had amassed 307 citations at the time of filing. Supplementary to that, we detailed the 47 times he had judged the work of his peers, which lent a hand in demonstrating that our client has risen to the top of the field. Multiple statistical tools for summarizing our client’s contributions have been applied to highlight his comprehensive impact in his field.

Most importantly, we summarized our client’s research and explained to the USCIS the significance of his study of changes in the concentration and identity of metabolites induced by environmental or genetic stresses. In a nutshell, we convinced them that our client’s work addresses some of the United States’ most important issues in understanding the pathogenesis of staphylococcal infections, which is essential for developing improved treatment strategies. It was critical for us to establish a connection between our client’s research and its impact using plain yet strong language.

We congratulate our client for obtaining EB1A petition approval, and we thank him for choosing us to represent his case. We wish him the best as he adjusts his status for permanent residence with the help of our D.I.Y. Packet.
