Case Summary:

A postdoctoral fellow in New Jersey approached North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) when he decided that he wanted to get one step closer to his green card. After asking him some questions and evaluating his credentials, we determined that we could build a solid EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) case for him. Leaving no stone unturned, we collected as much information as we could on our client’s work in the field of cell biology. From project reviews to letters of support, these are some of the things we included in his EB1A petition dossier:

Research Information: As part of our services, we carefully reviewed our client’s research projects on cancer cell biology and biochemistry. We concluded that his research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding the fundamental cellular processes and molecular mechanisms at play during the pathogenesis of cancer.
Proof of Extraordinary Ability: We focused on his publication count, citation record, and peer review experience. At the time of filing, these figures stood at 5 publications, 152 citations, and 30 instances of peer review service.
Recommendation Letters: Our client convinced six of his peers to contribute letters of support. These letters contained a myriad of information related to his research as well as reasons why he is an asset to the United States. As an example, this is what one of our client’s recommenders said about his work: “[Client’s] work is particularly useful in the United States, where cancer is one of the leading causes of death. Because cancer is such a major public health concern in the United States, with tens of millions of Americans currently living with some form of cancer, it is clear that it is a field of research that is incredibly important to the nation.”

We are pleased that our diligent efforts paved the way for EB1A approval. Our client is now one significant step closer to accomplishing his dream of obtaining American permanent residency. We wish him the best with the final step in the green card process (filing an I-485 application) and we thank him for choosing us to represent his EB1A petition.
