Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Research Instructor in Tennessee in the Field of Molecular Biology
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you for the service on my I-140 petition.
On October 8, 2015, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Research Instructor in the Field of Molecular Biology (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Instructor
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Tennessee
Approval Notice Date: October 8, 2015
Processing Time: 34 Days (14 Days after Premium Processing was Requested)
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a research instructor from China in the field of molecular biology. Our client’s specialized research has focused on studying gene function in cell development and in disease. His work had resulted in 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 1 patent; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 171 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 33 manuscripts for at least 7 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “…[Client] is conducting cutting-edge scientific and medical research that is benefiting both academic research, as well as the medical-and pharmaceutical-related communities. His skill set and contributions would be extremely difficult to replace, something I personally do not want to contemplate.” 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 molecular 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 34 days.
