Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you very much for all your support and help. I am very happy with the way you guys handled the case.”
On February 23rd, 2016, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Postdoctoral Associate in the Field of Biochemical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Biochemical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Associate
Country of Origin: India
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Michigan
Processing Time: 2 months, 30 days (Premium Processing requested)
Case Summary:
An influential biochemical engineer, whose recommendation letter we included in our EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition packet to the USCIS, wrote this about our client’s work: “[Client’s] contributions are aimed at making the production of biofuels more efficient and profitable, thereby transforming industries that have long depended on the consumption of environmentally-harmful fossil fuels.” This letter and the five others that our client obtained from other experts in the field served as unbiased proof that our client’s work is beneficial to the United States.
North America Immigration Law Group further fortified our client’s EB-1A by incorporating evidence of the 285 citations to our client’s work and his 18 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 1 book chapter, and numerous conference presentations. We also established his wide reach in the field of biochemical engineering by detailing the 28 times he conducted peer reviews for a dozen high impact scientific journals. Our client, a postdoctoral associate from India, has extensive experience researching alternative renewable fuels and creating value-added products through lignocellulose bioprocessing. As part of our services, we demonstrated that his work contributes to America’s commercial biofuel production, fossil fuel displacement, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and energy security.
Although we presented a strong case to the USCIS, the immigration officers at NSC issued a Request for Evidence (RFE). Our skilled legal team competently responded to the RFE and the USCIS ultimately granted their approval. Because our client chose to file his case under Premium Processing (PP), the adjudication timeline was significantly shortened. We would like to congratulate our client on this milestone and we wish him well as he embarks on the final leg of his green card journey: the I-485 application.
