On July 3rd, 2013, we received another EB1B Approval for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Field of Statistics and Agricultural Science (Approval Notice)

General Field: Statistics and Agricultural Science Petitioner: Premier university in Oklahoma Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Researcher Country of Origin: China Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing: Oklahoma Approval Notice Date: July 3, 2013 Processing Time: 9 Days (after upgrading to Premium Processing)

Case Summary:

At Chen Immigration Law Associates, we recently received an EB1B approval for a postdoctoral researcher in the field of statistics and agricultural science. Through his work he has developed unique statistical methods for factor analysis of high-volume data for chromosome and gene engineering, creating the potential to develop specific desirable genetic traits through genetic engineering. This knowledge is especially useful to the development of genetically engineered crops, which are widely used in the United States. The petitioner in this case is a premier university in the state of Oklahoma, and one of the most prestigious agricultural research institutions in the nation. The beneficiary’s outstanding ability and high level of expertise as well as his impressive record of achievements provided a strong case for his EB1B petition. Furthermore, the beneficiary had 14 peer-reviewed scholarly articles and conference proceedings published in leading journals in the field as well as 3 abstracts in national and international symposia. His publications have been cited at least 151 times by researchers around the world. The beneficiary’s expertise can be seen in a quote by a peer, “His excellent leadership and expert understanding of statistics enabled the success of our projects. It is rare to find a scientist with extensive backgrounds and experience in both plant sciences and statistics, and [his] expertise in both of these areas is truly unique.” It was our goal to prove that the beneficiary qualifies for classification as an Outstanding Professor or Researcher given the international recognition for his outstanding achievements. His EB1B case was approved in just 9 days after upgrading to premium processing.
