Case Summary:

We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a postdoctoral research fellow during his EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition process. This client devised a combination of drugs in order to confound Mycobacterium tuberculosis and searched for non-antibiotic compounds in order to fight this disease. In addition, our client conducted a study to find how thioridazine affects Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Our client relied on primates and guinea pig models in order to discover the new treatments. The research that the client conducted had resulted in 51 peer-reviewed articles and 14 presentations, which had been cited 581 times at the time of filing our client’s case. In addition to his research, our client had acted as a manuscript reviewer for 12 internationally-cited journals, having reviewed 40 manuscripts in total when his case was filed. One recommender informed: “A researcher’s work is only meritorious if it is well read and he or she is respected enough to have others draw on his publications. [Client] without doubt fulfills both of those criteria. He has been published in several high impact factor journals, impact factor being the measurement of importance of a journal within its field. […] Not only are his works appearing in places that have a strong influence on the field, they are also proving to be widely read.” The USCIS received the Request for Premium Processing for this case 6 days after submission of the RFE response. The EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition received approval 14 days after the Premium Processing request was received.

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com ( Also known as Chen Immigration Law Associates) is one of the major U.S. immigration law firms with the focus on the petitions of EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver), EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) and EB-1B (Outstanding Researchers/Professors) categories.

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.
