Success Stories: EB-1A Petition Approved for Postdoctoral Research Associate from India in the Field of Biomaterial Chemistry


Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you very much for your help and all the hard work in preparing my case. I am really happy with your firm…”

On February 9th, 2016, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Field of Biomaterial Chemistry (Approval Notice).

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New York
Approval Notice Date: February 9th, 2016
Processing Time: 7 months, 15 days

 
Case Summary:

“[Client's] findings have changed the direction of the current body of biomineralization research. These studies have broad applications, which ripple out to many diverse fields of science, including oceanography, water pollution and resource management, petroleum engineering and desalination science, geothermal energy, and biomedical engineering.”
This statement is taken from a testimonial offered by an expert biomaterial chemist. He contributed a testimonial to support our client’s EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition, which North America Immigration Law Group was hired to handle. Several other experts volunteered testimonials and we included these letters in our meticulously prepared petition packet.
Besides letters of support, we also included information on our client’s professional experience: his citation count, his publication record, and the number of times he contributed his scientific expertise via peer reviews. When we filed this EB-1A case, these figures stood at 207 citations, 15 publications, and 18 instances of peer review service. Our client’s strong credentials and our legal team’s diligent efforts convinced the USCIS that this I-140 petition deserved to be approved. Seven months after we filed the case on our client’s behalf, he decided to upgrade his case to Premium Processing, which resulted in rapid adjudication— the USCIS sent our client an approval notice less than two weeks later.
Because we carefully accounted for our client’s research projects on biomineralization and biomimetic materials chemistry, we were able to convince the USCIS that his work is essential to the United States. We have no doubt that our thorough presentation played a role in the approval of this EB-1A petition. We would like to thank our client for selecting us to represent his case and we wish him well in his continued research.
