Our client, who has a Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences, hired the North America Immigration Law Group to assist in filing an O1A petition on his behalf. Based on our background check, we found that he is currently employed as a Project Manager, and his research focuses on formulating tailored purified ingredient diets specifically designed for laboratory rodents utilized across various research objectives and diet-induced disease models. Based on our analysis, we believe that he has a strong case to be made and created his personalized petition package with the following details:

He has an extensive publishing record, with 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles (3 first-authored), 4 book chapters (2 first-authored), and 2 peer-reviewed abstracts (1 first-authored). His work has also been published in several high-impact journals, showing the value of his work.
His work is also well-cited, with a total of 148 citations at the time of the petition’s draft. Some of his papers are also among the most cited in their field within their year of publication.
Moreover, he is also a respected expert in his given field, as he has conducted 12 peer-reviews of various papers and articles, indicating that he is active in his field and qualified to judge the work of other experts.
In addition, he has also received letters of recommendation from four different experts, one of whom said:

“As a uniquely talented nutritional scientist situated at the intersection of practical and theoretical research, devoting his attention to promoting practices that enhance diet-induced disease models and functional foods, [Client] is performing exemplary work of tremendous benefit. His accomplishments, successful project outcomes, and peer review efforts testify to his invaluable skillset and the original quality of his cutting-edge research, and I support his ongoing endeavors without reservation.”

With these facts, our team was able to make a strong case for the approval of his O1-A petition, and with the help of the USCIS’s premium processing service, we were able to gain approval in just 3 days. We are grateful to our client for putting his faith in our firm, and we hope for the best in his endeavors.
