Case Summary:
In this EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) case, North America Immigration Law Group represented a postdoctoral scholar from China. Our client, who researches nanomedicine and its applications to targeted, controlled anticancer therapies, is particularly well-known for her development of a nanoparticle-based biomedical imaging system with the ability to image cancerous tissues with high accuracy over a wide timeframe. Her discovery has paved the way for improved diagnoses and treatment courses for patients with metastatic cancers and other conditions requiring detailed imaging. Our legal team proved that her groundbreaking work significantly benefits the United States’ medical sector.
Besides chronicling our client’s Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering, we included other relevant evidence of her unique skills and professional expertise. By the time we were ready to file this EB-1A case, we had amassed a wealth of information on our client’s achievements. For instance, we documented her 22 published papers that had obtained 383 citations and the 33 times she had conducted peer reviews on behalf of top-rated scientific journals. We also included testimonials volunteered by expert materials scientists, one of whom wrote, “… [Client’s] academic and research accomplishments demonstrate her striking aptitude for research, original perspective, and ability to address some of the most complex questions in modern material science and biomaterials engineering. These qualities are rare, and make [Client] an irreplaceable figure in our shared field.”
A little over three weeks after we filed the case, our client chose to upgrade her I-140 petition to Premium Processing (this option is only available for EB1 categories). The USCIS granted their approval 11 days later. Our client is now one step closer to her green card and we wish her the very best.
