Case Summary:

Chen Immigration Law Associates recently received an EB1-A approval for a research and clinical fellow in the field of cardiology. This client’s work focused primarily on performing reviews and meta-analyses of studies related to the treatment of cardiovascular conditions such as myocardial infractions (heart attacks), acute coronary syndrome, and heart failure. This client seeks to enter the United States to continue work in the area of cardiology. It was our goal to prove that this client qualifies for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability given that he seeks to enter the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability and that his entry into the United States will substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. His contributions to the field are also recognized by other experts in his field, notably in a statement by an independent recommender who commented, “His record of success in this area strongly suggests that he will continue to be a valuable source of information for the scientific community at an international level.” Furthermore, our client’s work has resulted in at least 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles appearing in prestigious international journals, 2 book chapters, and 11 conference presentations. Our client’s publications have been cited 41 times by researchers around the world and one of his publications appears fifth in a list of over 3,700 results on the topic. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates collected recommendation letters from leading experts in the field that argue the necessity of continuation of our client’s research. Eight of the letters we submitted were from leading independent experts who attest to the major significance and influence of his work in the field. This client’s case was approved in 3 ½ months.
