Case Summary:
North America Immigration Law Group’s string of success stories includes this EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) case. It involves a research assistant from China, who sought our help to file an I-140 petition on his behalf. Our client is a leader in his field of medicinal chemistry and conducts research on how to treat deadly, costly diseases, how to manage drug abuse, and how to safely and effectively increase crop yields. In our meticulously prepared presentation to the USCIS, our firm demonstrated that our client’s work spans the most critical sectors of not just the United States, but the world.
An expert medicinal chemist who contributed a letter of recommendation in support of our client’s I-140 wrote this: “He is regarded by his peers around the world as one of the most exceptional researchers working in these realms. He has a superb understanding of complex biological and chemical behavior that dictates drug treatment and disease response […] a true force among chemists working in the area of medicinal chemistry, surpassing these peers in research proposal, work, and success.” This letter, and several others that our client obtained, was included in our petition packet. We also detailed the 87 times our client judged the work of others as well as his 19 publications that had accumulated 311 citations.
Our client initially chose to file his EB-1A petition using the USCIS’ regular service but changed his mind several months later. He upgraded his case to be adjudicated under Premium Processing and received an approval notice less than two weeks after doing so. Our team worked diligently on this EB-1A case and we are pleased that the USCIS agreed with our presentation. We congratulate our client and wish him well in his future endeavors.
