Case Summary:

Our client, a Research Technician and Clinical Coordinator from India, hired our firm to present a convincing EB-1A case to the USCIS. Her specialized research has focused on characterizing the genetic and molecular abnormalities associated with pediatric high-grade brain tumors. Also, her research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding the biological basis of some of the deadliest pediatric cancers in existence.

Since EB-1A is one of the toughest I-140 categories, we made sure that we thoroughly presented our client’s achievements in a clear and concise manner. By submitting evidence of the research success – 9 peer-reviewed scientific articles and her experience of judging the work of her peers 10 times, we established the fact that our client is an extraordinary researcher who deserves to remain in the United States to conduct her impactful research. We also detailed the 204 times her work was cited by other leading and influential researchers around the world. All the information was carefully displayed in the customized petition to persuade the USCIS that our client qualifies as an alien of extraordinary ability and that her entry will benefit the United States.

6 letters of recommendation signed by noted experts in the field were incorporated into the petition packet to further support our client’s petition The following excerpt is how one of the recommenders described our client’s work: “As a fellow pediatric cancer researcher and expert in hematology and oncology, I understand the importance of [Client’s] research in preserving specimens of brain cancers for further study. I am willing to state that she is a well-educated and skilled scientific professional whose work has progressed the field in many ways.”

In addition to carefully assembling the required documents to file the EB-1A petition on behalf of our client, our team has included a customized citation map for visualization to indicate the international recognition of our client’s work.

With the EB1A– I140 approval in hand, our client is now one step closer to her green card. We thank our client for trusting us and we wish her the best as she continues to carry out impactful research in the United States.
