Case Summary:

With a Ph.D. in Biotechnology and extensive experience researching the field of structural biology, our client (a facility program administrator from India), possessed suitable credentials to file her I-140 petition under the EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) visa category. We carefully evaluated her qualifications to be sure that we could build a strong case for her. Once our attorneys confirmed that she was a suitable candidate for EB-1A, we initiated the contract and got to work putting together a persuasive EB-1A petition for our client.

“[Client] has far exceeded the normal expectations of a researcher in her field to achieve the most exhaustive understanding of drug interactions at a molecular level. These attributes solidify [Client’s] status as one of the foremost researchers in the field at the present time.”

– Professor, India

“It is apparent that [Client’s] depth of understanding supports highly transferable skills which she employs masterfully in any research setting.”

– Professor, Italy

The quotes listed above were extracted from two recommendation letters contributed by a couple of experts working in the field of structural biology. These letters were accompanied by four others, and together, they presented the USCIS with evidence proving that our client is a leader in her field and that halting her work on identifying targets for enhanced anticancer and antitumor drug therapies would be detrimental to the United States.

Besides recommendation letters, our client’s EB-1A petition packet contained data on her publication record (10 scientific articles, 1 book, 9 invited editorial articles, 1 review article, and numerous conference presentations), her citation count (127 citations), and her peer review record (30 reviews conducted for several high impact journals).

As we were able to prove to the USCIS that our client’s findings impact the US medical field as well as the millions of individuals affected by cancer, the USCIS approved her EB-1A petition nearly 9 months after her case was filed (without the issuance of a Request for Evidence). We congratulate our client for overcoming this significant hurdle in the green card process and we wish her well as she continues to carry out impactful research in the country.
