Case Summary:

A research associate from China hired North America Immigration Law Group for filing an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf back in 2019, and we helped her with our all to make the NIW case a success and to achieve the approval. After a successful attempt at the NIW petition, she decided to retain our services and file for another petition under the EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) visa category. When she contacted us, we guided her through the method of achieving a green card, whereas there are two steps involved i.e., filing an I-140 petition and I-485 application. Since she already had NIW approval, it was smooth for us to file for another I-140 petition. Just after 2 months she also wanted us to file I-485 applications for her and her spouse.

Therefore, to make her cases victorious, we thoroughly assessed the provided credentials to influence USCIS on her research's broad implications for the United States. Acknowledging the focus of her research on the molecular biology and bioinformatic analysis, we concluded that her research addresses some of our nation’s and the world’s most pressing issues, including the improvement of wheat, one of the world’s most important staple crops, by working to increase both its quality and yield. To establish judiciously put the following details in her petition packet:

We noted that she held a Ph.D. in genomics and bioinformatics, along with her diploma, and transcripts, and employment letter confirming her current position, proving her one of the few leading genetics and genomics experts in the field of molecular biology. Also, her education, experience, and expertise in the field have been extensively recognized by independent scholars, and all of her recommenders are internationally renowned experts belonging to elite institutions.
Besides, we specified the 190 citations she gathered from the 13 peer-reviewed scientific articles she published in some of the most discerning journals in her field. These journals are extremely selective with a rigorous peer-review process, making publication in them a rare accomplishment achieved by only the very best researchers in the field. The best evidence we could have added was of peer review activity performed by our client for a scholarly journal. We observed that she already had conducted 35 peer reviews, confirming her actual participation as a reviewer.

Considering the aforementioned details, it is a testament to her widespread influence and the unique role of her work in providing fundamental insights and frameworks that aid in the efforts of her peers. To prove the great importance her research holds, we also added five recommendation letters acquired by our client. She received these letters from other noble researchers in the field, corroborating that her groundbreaking research serves as only one example of how her work directly contributes to issues of extreme significance within the field of molecular biology and the study of the wheat genome.

We are content with the fact that our team was able to assist our client as she believed. Also, thanks to premium processing service, she was granted her EB1A approval in just 1 month and 11 days. Not only did she receive her EB1A approval quickly, in fact, her solid credentials and our presentation of her cases have also helped her to receive her NIW approval 6 months and I-485 approval 2 months after we filed these cases. We sincerely thank her for having faith in us throughout the processes and for allowing us to draft this successful journey of hers with us.
