For this EB-1B petition for an Outstanding Researcher, we were privileged to work with a Research Project Scientist who has made substantial contributions and garnered international acclaim in the field of Microbiology. In her research endeavors, our client has amassed a greater understanding of the pathology of prevalent human diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cystic fibrosis, which cause millions of deaths around the globe each year. Her development of novel and effective therapeutics has been a major contribution to the pharmaceutical industry, which has ultimately benefited national and international healthcare. The major significance of her work was endorsed by an independent recommender, who stated, “Considering the prevalence of cystic fibrosis in the population, and its strong link to viral infection, [Client’s] work is of the utmost importance, as it has brought researchers to the brink of being able to mitigate and prevent some of the more severe repercussions of [cystic fibrosis] infection. This work is independently worthy of recognition […] but more importantly, it is simply one example of a canon of published literature and discovery that has typified [Client] as a leader in the bio-sciences in the U.S. and around the world.”The originality of our client’s work has culminated in the authorship of one book chapter, numerous conference proceedings, and 24 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts that were published in the top journals of her field. At the time of filing her case, her publications had been cited 229 times by researchers worldwide, demonstrating the global scientific community’s heavy reliance upon her work. Furthermore, her work has been presented and discussed at several national and internationally renowned conferences. It was our goal to prove that this beneficiary qualified for classification as an outstanding professor or researcher given the international recognition for her outstanding achievements. Despite the issuance of a RFE from the USCIS, we overcame this hurdle with the extensive and thorough documentation that we provided. We were met with success when her EB-1B petition was approved in 6 months and 4 days.
