Case Summary:

“[Client] has produced unmatched results in the evolution of pharmaceutical science and he has pushed the field forward into new areas of progress. [Client] is a remarkable individual who would be difficult, if not impossible, to match in terms of skill and value to the field. Considering the value placed upon renewable energy research and multidrug resistance studies, halting [Client’s] work would be devastating to the country as a whole.”
This vote of confidence was offered by a well-known specialist in the field of pharmacology. He and several other experts contributed recommendation letters in support of our client’s EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition. Our client, who is an assistant project scientist from India, conducts research on the structure and function of cells and cellular membranes.
We worked diligently to convince the USCIS that our client’s work is valuable to the United States, particularly its biotechnology and biomedicine sectors. We also illustrated the extent of our client’s influence in his field of pharmacology by including his peer review experience, citation count, and publication record in our comprehensive EB-1A petition packet. When we filed the case, our client had conducted 11 peer reviews and had 230 citations to his 15 publications.
As our client chose to file his case under Premium Processing (which significantly shortens the adjudication timeframe), he received an approval notice from the USCIS merely four days later. North America Immigration Law Group recently filed I-145 (the final step in the green card process) applications for our client and his wife. We wish them both the best in the final leg of their immigration journey.
