Unique EB-1A Petition Approved in 10 Days for Postdoctoral Research Associate with 110 Citations in the Field of Medicinal Chemistry

Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you very much for your help.”
On May 17th, 2018, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Field of Medicinal Chemistry (Approval Notice).
General Field: Medicinal Chemistry
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Associate
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Illinois
Approval Notice Date: May 17th, 2018
Processing Time: 10 Days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
The field of medicinal chemistry has seen much progress since our client—a postdoctoral research associate—chose to dedicate his research career to it. When he approached us to help him get one step closer to his green card, we advised him to file two I-140 petitions to increase his chances of I-140 approval. However, because our client filed his EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) before his EB-2 NIW (and using Premium Processing), he received notification of EB1A case approval in a mere 10 days.  As a Chinese national, our client can undoubtedly move forward in the green card process a lot quicker with an approved EB1A than an approved NIW.
What did the customized EB1A petition contain?
With a success rate of over 10,000 approved I-140 cases, our firm is well-versed in the ins and outs of USCIS adjudication trends. We worked diligently to put together a comprehensive EB1A petition dossier that highlighted our client’s unique skillsets, research field, and background as a prominent medicinal chemist. Amongst other things, we listed the 110 times his half a dozen publications were cited. We also shed light on the 15 times he had assessed the work of his peers for an array of well-known scientific journals.
Gathering supporting evidence:
We knew that if we wanted to attain EB1A approval, we needed external support. Therefore, we urged our client to reach out to several influential members of the medicinal chemistry research community and ask for recommendation letters. Not long after we had helped our client narrow down a list of potential recommenders, he returned with six signed letters, all of which supported our argument that he should be allowed to continue his research in the United States. These letters also provided subjective evidence regarding our client’s respected status as an outstanding researcher. This is a quote extracted from one of these letters: “[Client] is a researcher with levels of expertise and skill that few others in his field match. He is conducting research in an area of great national importance, and he has shown himself to be a valuable asset to the United States.”
We congratulate our client for securing a highly sought-after EB1A approval, and we thank him for trusting us to help him move significantly closer to US permanent residency. We also wish him the best as he continues to carry out specialized research on cancer drug development to benefit the United States.

Our EB-1A petition was composed of our client’s copious professional and academic achievements. We documented his publication record (10 scientific articles, a book chapter, and 10 conference proceedings), his citation count (nearly 300 citations), and his peer review experience (20 reviews conducted for various scientific journals). We further fortified our petition by including testimonials that our client had gathered from other leaders in his field of biomedical optics. We used these letters to support our argument that our client is an asset to the United States and that his research efforts significantly impact multiple progressive areas that benefit the nation. One of our client’s recommenders—a distinguished professor—agreed with our summation. He wrote, “His work is applicable in not only a variety of different branches of his field, but also in several other fields of scientific research. Specifically, [Client] has advanced the ability of those in the healthcare system to effectively detect and treat cancers, and he has developed advanced new technologies and methods for biomedical imaging.”
In Conclusion:
We have no doubt that our client’s impressive credentials and our carefully compiled EB1A presentation paved the way for petition approval. Due to Premium Processing, this happened in merely 12 days. Our firm recently filed an I-485 application (last step in the green card process) for our client, and we join him as he awaits a favorable outcome from the USCIS.

Case Summary:
North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) had the pleasure of working with a gifted Chinese research scientist immersed in the field of plasma physics. He hired us to help him get one step closer to a green card. After evaluating his credentials, we concluded that the best way to do so would be via EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver).
EB-2 NIW Petition Dossier:
Our job was to compile a wealth of information on our client’s various accomplishments and turn what we had into a convincing EB-2 NIW presentation. We noted everything from our client’s Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering to his current research on the interaction between the magnetic field and plasma flow in astronomical structures. We summarized everything we learned and demonstrated to the USCIS that not many other physicists with similar skillsets can attain the same level of research success. We also proved that our client’s work is important to the United States, particularly when it comes to the country’s development of thermonuclear technology and advancement of fusion research. To pad our NIW petition packet, we included additional evidence that illustrated our client’s high standing in his field: the 36 citations to his 7 publications, and recommendation letters furnished by other expert physicists, all of which firmly demonstrated that our client’s opinions and insights considerably progress the work of other scientists. Here are several quotes that we excerpted from three of the six recommendation letters that our client obtained:
“[Client’s] impressive background and training have shaped him into a researcher with a unique perspective that allows him to conduct research geared heavily towards practicality and usability. I simply do not believe that the research community in the U.S. could have advanced as far as it has in its understanding of plasma without [Client’s] diligent work, and many continue to rely upon his insight and skills today.”
“The culmination of all of this academic work, and his experimental designs and applications, indicates that [Client] is truly an expert on dynamos and an important researcher in physics and electrical engineering. He has rapidly gained influence in this crucial field, and I highly encourage you to provide him with the support he needs to continue his novel research.”
“Given this highly successful work, I certainly expect [Client] to continue making substantial contributions to the field. Considering that he has already vastly outstripped even the most ambitious goals for a researcher in this field, it is plain to see that we can expect only the best from [Client] in the years to come.”
Story of Success:
We are pleased that Texas Service Center approved our client’s NIW petition (in 5 months and 2 days), and that we get to chalk it up as yet another encouraging example of our firm’s determination to help every client get closer to permanent residency. Our client now has to wait for his priority date to become current before filing his I-485 application (final step in green card proceedings). When the time comes, we look forward to helping him obtain his green card. Till then, we wish him well with his continued research ventures.
