Success Story: Premium-Processed EB1A Approved in 18 Days for an Indian Assistant Professor Leading Work on Early-Stage Brain Changes

 

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you for all of your hard work. Your work was professional, timely, and efficient. It was a pleasure working with you as well.”


On December 16th, 2026, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for an Assistant Professor in the Field of Neurology (Approval Notice).


General Field: Neurology

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Assistant Professor

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Pennsylvania

Approval Notice Date: December 16th, 2026

Processing Time: 18 days (Premium Processing Requested)


Case Summary:  

The client in this case is an Assistant Professor and a neurologist originally from India, with a research focus centered on neurodegenerative disease mechanisms and the neural basis of cognitive and speech impairments.

Instead of building the case around the general importance of neurology, NAILG (North America Immigration Law Group) kept the storyline specific: the field’s biggest leverage point is the early detection of disease, before decline becomes obvious. The client’s work was presented through that lens, emphasizing her role in Alzheimer’s disease through contributions to the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC).

To make influence concrete, the petition emphasized how widely the client’s work has been used and trusted by the community. She authored 21 peer-reviewed journal articles (9 first-authored), 6 abstracts (5 first-authored), and 1 preprint, and her citation performance placed her among the top 1% of most highly cited authors. She also completed at least 14 peer reviews, reinforcing that journals repeatedly relied on her judgment as a gatekeeper in the field.

One recommender summarized her standing in plain terms: “It is clear that [Client] stands at the top of her field, given her achievements in areas such as neurological diseases and early-stage brain changes in those living with neurodegenerative conditions.”

NAILG connected the client’s original research contributions to objective markers of influence, including her top-tier citation standing, sustained publication output, competitive funding support, and invitations to serve as a peer reviewer. By presenting these elements as a coherent record of field-level impact and sustained recognition, the petition met the EB1A standard and received a rapid approval under premium processing.
