Case Summary:
As a firm that prides itself in its work, we at Chen Immigration make it our goal to achieve as close to 100% approval rating for our clients’ cases. For EB-2 NIW cases where the applicants are researchers, we do this by highlighting our clients’ main contributions in their academic field of study and to the United States in general. One of the main factors that determine the success of a case is the client’s letters of recommendations. In this case we illustrated that our client was an exceptional research scientist and that he exhibited indisputable evidence to which he should be allowed to continue his research in the United States.
In this case we worked directly with the client to first prove that this client was seeking employment in an area of substantial intrinsic merit. As an advanced degree holder in the areas of Neurobiology, we highlighted this client’s exceptional research as well as his contribution to a book chapter, and a conference presentation. Additionally, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates included detailed discussion of the published works associated with this client’s research. However, because this client’s number of citations was relatively low compared to other EB-2 NIW cases, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates had to bolster other areas of our client’s credentials to guarantee a swift approval.
Like in many cases with a low number of citations, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates draft independent advisory opinions that support and bolster our client’s chances of approval. Within these letters we procure information that illustrates our client’s benefit to the United States. In this case we worked with many unaffiliated researchers within the field of our client’s work to add crucial evidence that this client was indeed exceptional. Many of these researchers had this to say about our client: “Based on my years of research experience and a familiarity with the hallmarks of academic excellence, I am certain that Dr. X's first rate technical expertise and extensive scientific pedigree will continue to make even greater advances in genetics and neurobiology in the coming decades” as well as “Dr. X’s work has contributed admirably—and will continue to provide for the foreseeable future—important benefits to the American public through advancements in genetics and neurobiology.”
Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on April 8th, 2013.With this in consideration, it is important to emphasize that the processes and expertise practiced by Chen Immigration Law Associates. Not only do we develop the best possible strategies for each case, but we execute these strategies with the utmost effectiveness!
