We recently received an EB-1B approval for a Scientist in the field of Bioanalytical Chemistry. The beneficiary’s outstanding ability, highly skilled background, and impressive record of achievement provided a strong case for her EB1B petition. Specifically, her work had contributed to our understanding of the cardiovascular system, cancer biology, stem cell biology and the implication of environmental toxins on human health. The beneficiary’s research work had resulted in at least 36 peer-reviewed scholarly articles accepted or published in leading international journals and numerous conference posters and presentations. Furthermore, the beneficiary’s publications had been cited at least 310 times by researchers around the world. In addition, she had been invited to review 8 times for scholarly articles, manuscripts, and abstracts submitted by worldwide researchers and scientists to prestigious journals and conferences. It was our goal to prove that this beneficiary qualified for classification as an outstanding professor or researcher given the international recognition for her outstanding achievements. Through extensive documentation we were able to demonstrate that she had fulfilled the requirements for an outstanding researcher, and her petition was swiftly approved in just 6 weeks.
