Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Texas in the Field of Synthetic Organic Chemistry
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you very much for your team's excellent support and dedicated involvement in my case. [...] I already recommended friends before and will also continue it.
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Country of Origin: India
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas
Approval Notice Date: September 10th, 2014
Processing Time: 11 Months, 28 Days (Including RFE Response; 13 Days After Requesting Premium Processing)
We worked with a postdoctoral research fellow in synthetic organic chemistry from India for this case. He had performed research in the specialized areas of drug design, organic chemical synthesis, and radiopharmaceuticals, giving vital innovations in each area as well as in their intersections. He had disseminated his work in no fewer than 10 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals and those publications had, at the time of case filing, received at least 141 citations globally, highlighting the major significance of his work. Furthermore he held 7 patents and had been invited to present at conferences at least 5 times. He had also judged the work of his peers through performing 19 manuscript reviews for 10 distinctive journals in his field. Our client’s superior expertise and ability were confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender: “[I]t is my professional opinion that [Client] is an extraordinarily talented researcher in synthetic organic chemistry. In his research, [Client] has searched for an environmentally benign reaction media for chemical transformations. Using the approach of green chemistry, [Client’s] research demonstrated several crucial principles: waste management at the source, use of catalysts in place of reagents, use of nontoxic reagents, use of renewable resources, improved atom efficiency, and the use of solvent-free or reusable environmentally benign reaction media.” 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 synthetic organic chemistry , and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, and including RFE response time, his case was approved in eleven months and twenty-eight days.
