Case Summary:

At North America Immigration Law Group– WeGreened.com, we recently received an EB1B approval for a Research Associate in the field of materials engineering. The beneficiary’s outstanding ability, highly skilled background, and impressive record of achievement provided a strong case for his EB1B petition. His work had focused specifically on peptide-polymer hybrid materials for biomaterial coatings, as well as nanomaterials for targeted drug delivery in cancer treatment. His research work had resulted in at least 8 peer-reviewed journal articles, a book, a book chapter, peer review for 16 respected journals (and two editorial board positions), a forthcoming patent, and 14 conference papers and presentations. Furthermore, the beneficiary had a total of 124 citations to his work, nearly all of which were cited by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of materials science and chemical engineering. The petitioner in this case was a public research university. The value of the beneficiary’s research is confirmed in the following quote by an independent recommender, “Chemotherapy is also known for its adverse effects, and scientists like [him], work tirelessly to develop technologies to deliver anti-cancer drugs in a novel way to reduce the side-effects, increase the efficacy of the therapy and, most importantly, the overall well-being of the cancer patients. [His] research is monumental and truly the future of cancer medicine in terms of encapsulating the chemotherapeutic drug inside nanoparticles and simultaneously targeting the nanoparticles to the site of cancer.” It was our goal to prove that this beneficiary qualified for classification as an alien of outstanding professor or researcher given the international recognition for his outstanding achievements. His petition was approved in 1 month and 8 days, including the time taken to respond to an RFE.

We are pleased to announce that we have more than 600 EB1 and NIW case approvals in the year of 2013 and overall approval rate exceeds 98.5%*, which makes us a leading U.S. immigration law firm with the most approval cases and highest successful rate in the field of NIW/EB1 I-140 immigration petitions. This year (2013), we got more than 516 physical approval notices of EB-1 and EB-2 NIW cases with the approval rate exceeding 98.5%*. Those approvals notices are from clients who retained us from the beginning of the case preparation. In addition, we also successfully helped around additional 70 clients preparing their RFE (Request for Evidence) responses that were originally filed by other law firms or by DIY clients filing the cases themselves. In addition, we helped around 30 clients preparing for their EB1B cases for their employers to file. In these cases, we are not able to get approval notices as we are not the attorney on record.

We provide the most comprehensive service for NIW (National Interest Waiver) and EB-1 petitions, including drafting recommendation letters (from the scratch), drafting the petition letter and respond to RFE (without extra charge). Qualified clients are entitled to our “approval or refund” service and if in a rare case the petition is denied, the attorney fee will be refunded. Our policy is specified in our retainer agreement and is binding to us. Because of the quality of our service, our clients comments and reviews are also impeccable.
