Thanks for letting me know about my I140 Approval! That is a great news!

On August 19th, 2015, We Received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for an Assistant Research Scientist in the Field of Cancer Biology (Approval Notice)

Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was an assistant research scientist from China in the field of cancer biology. Specifically, our client’s specialized research has focused on cancer immunology and epigenetics, integrating his expertise in immunology, cell biology, and genetics into his influential project designs. His work had resulted in 8 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 147 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed 34 manuscripts for 13 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “With his record of influential research, publication, and presentation, [client] has duly established himself as a respected scientist of the highest quality. His work has influenced projects worldwide and alerted researchers to the ability of harnessing protein/peptide microarrays for the early detection of several devastating forms of cancer.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of cancer biology, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 4 months and 25 days.
