Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Postdoctoral Fellow in Texas in the Field of Cell and Developmental Biology
On March 18th, 2015, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Cell and Developmental Biology (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas
Approval Notice Date: March 18th, 2015
Processing Time: 8 Months, 16 Days (Including RFE Response Time)
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Fellow from China in the field of Cell and Developmental Biology. His specialized research has focused on cellular stress response. His work had resulted in 13 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 16 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 314 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 18 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “he demonstrated that cardiac glycoside treatment dramatically decreased cerebral infarct size in neonatal cerebral-hypoxic injury, suggesting that inhibition of autotic cell death is clinically beneficial in the treatment of stroke.” 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 Cell and Developmental 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 8 months and 16 days.
