Case Summary:
A Drug Development director contacted our law firm to help him establish his significant contributions to the U.S. by filing for an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition. We presented his exceptional professional background and unparalleled experience, which are important to his current and future work at the USCIS.
Upon reviewing his credentials, we found that our client has a Ph.D. in biology and has accomplished a great publication record in his field. His research resulted in:
- 10 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 first- or co-first-authored), 2 conference abstracts (first-authored), and 1 preprint (first-authored), and these papers have been published in some of the most discerning, high-impact journals in his field of membrane biology.
- He has conducted at least 17 reviews for journals to date, and his work has been cited by other scholars in numerous published articles as well.
- According to Google Scholar, his work has been cited 808 times in at least 51 countries.
- His work has received funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These fundings support projects that progress science and technology.
- His case was further supported by two recommendation letters that he obtained from his fellow experts in the field.
Our team’s efforts successfully paid off in conveying to the USCIS that our client is an extraordinary researcher who seeks to enter the United States to continue working in his field of expertise. His extraordinary ability has been demonstrated by sustained international acclaim, and his achievements in the field have been recognized through implementation by others and extensive citation of his work.
We would like to congratulate him on securing EB1A approval even after waiting for a long time. He even filed his I-140 NIW approval with us. We wish him to receive his green card as soon as possible.
