Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Research Analyst (Patents) in the Field of Organic Chemistry
On January 9th, 2014, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Research Analyst (Patents) in the Field of Organic Chemistry (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Analyst (Patents)
Country of Origin: India
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
Approval Notice Date: January 9th, 2014
Processing Time: 4 Months, 25 Days
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Research Analyst (Patents) from India in the field of Organic Chemistry. He conducts his research mainly on the various components of enantioselective processes, a highly specialized area of organic chemistry. His work had resulted in 9 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 3 review papers, 1 book chapter, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 1,002 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed 6 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Much of his work has forged new pathways in the way that organic chemists think about creating the molecules they need. It’s also important to note that [client’s] work has had a substantial impact on the field of pharmaceuticals as the techniques he’s developed have led to easier, faster, and cheaper ways to produce the compounds used in medications everywhere.” 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 Organic Chemistry, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 4 months and 25 days.
