Case Summary:

“[The client’s] research is exciting because it offers a newly developed approach for siRNA delivery that utilizes nanocarriers. This approach optimizes cell treatment and achieves spatiotemporal control of gene silencing, making it a powerful method for stem cell research. In developing this new approach, [the client] has launched stem cell research into new levels for effective disease treatment and has indelibly contributed to not only the field of bioengineering but also the public health and economic fortitude of the United States.”

“In his fascinating research, [the client] has surmounted this challenge by bioengineering a new fungal biodetoxification method that yields maximal biomass hydrolysates, which are superior for the production of microbial lipids and biodiesel. In developing this biodetoxification method, [The client] has streamlined the use of biodiesel and promoted its positive impacts on the environmental and economic concerns of the United States.”

These are excerpts from the letters of recommendation that our client, a postdoctoral researcher working in the field of bioengineering who hails from China, obtained on our advice. These letters were supported by valuable information shared by him in his CV regarding his academic and professional background. We made sure that he qualified the clear language of the EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) criteria before entering an attorney-client relationship with him. Given the strictures of USCIS, it became necessary to not only personalize the petition but also to make sure it contained information that swayed the adjudication in his favor. For this, we showcased his track record of publications, citations as well as funding, and peer review experience.

We showed that he has conducted at least 20 reviews for remarkable journals, the impact of which we outlined in detail.

His work has resulted in 9 peer-reviewed scientific articles (7 of them first-authored). Moreover, his papers have been published in some of the most discerning, high-impact journals in his field. And due to its great applicability in the field, his research in bioengineering has been cited 256 times in other peer-reviewed journal articles according to Google Scholar. These citations come from independent and leading researchers from well-regarded institutions and organizations around the world.

His study has also received funding from the National Institutes of Health and the Roche Translational & Clinical Research Center. This funding supports projects that directly benefit the public health and medical interests of the United States. Therefore, his research has clearly been recognized as nationally important.

Having enlisted his achievements, we waited for the adjudicating judge to come to their decision, which they did in a short period of 20 days only. Thanks to premium processing, the client received his EB-1A approval quickly. We are thankful to him for putting his trust in us.
