Case Summary:

Merely 8 days after North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) filed an EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) petition on behalf of a researcher from India, the USCIS approved her case. As an employer-sponsored visa category, our client had to garner her employer’s full support before hiring us. Fortunately for her, this well-known university agreed to lend their support, and once an attorney-client relationship was established, they provided us with the necessary documents needed to represent our client.

In the well-thought-out EB-1B petition packet, we included various aspects of our client’s professional portfolio: the 406 citations collected from her work, her 7 published papers, and the couple of times she had judged the work of her peers. A prominent professor, whose recommendation letter we included in our client’s EB-1B petition to the USCIS, had this to say about our client: “[Client] is an outstanding biochemistry researcher, and she is sure to continue making new discoveries as her career continues. Her findings have already proven to be a vital reference for scientists around the world, indicating her high status in the community. I encourage you to review [Client’s] achievements and the importance of her work in the field.” Besides this recommendation letter, we also included four others to support our client’s EB-1B petition.

Perhaps one of the most important elements of our client’s petition had to do with her research on the use of genetic engineering techniques to answer questions in biology. We persuaded the USCIS that our client’s research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding key biological mechanisms, including those related to DNA and cellular differentiation.

We congratulate our client for obtaining an EB-1B petition approval, and we wish her the best as she continues to progress the field of molecular biology in the United States.
