Success Stories: Our Effective Response to the RFE Issued Allowed a Medicinal Chemistry Postdoctoral Research Associate from India with 70 Citations to Receive an EB-1A Petition Approval
Client’s Testimonial:
“First thank you very much to Chen’s and team for working on my EB1A case. It was really great experience working with you. I approach them because one of my friend work with them and successfully got the green card. I approached first for free evaluation and they gave me very honest opinion and ask me to improve my case (eg. Review paper, wait for citation to improve etc). I approached them after six month with some addition to my resume and they took my case as regular service. First thing I notice is they treat your case as their own case. They gave me response not only in time but with valuable suggestion while from writing research summary, selecting recommender and finalizing petition. I want specially mention some things like “one of my recommender ask me if I sent the draft in idiomatically correct English and without any hype, he will take two week to edit and sign otherwise he don’t have time. When I sent him letter he sent me back within two days with very minor changes”. Other one is “while writing RFE I want to add one of my paper commentary in magazine but Chen’s team suggested me not to mention because of one sentence which will affect thinking of officer”. Other thing like online system, time deadline, multiple revisions everything is perfect. Chen’s team work with Patient, response on time and with perfection” while working with them once can learn many things to be successful professional. I strongly recommend Chens Immigration law group.”
On August 10th, 2016, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Field of Medicinal Chemistry (Approval Notice).
General Field: Medicinal Chemistry
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Associate
Country of Origin: India
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Georgia
Approval Notice Date: August 10th, 2016
Processing Time: 91 Days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
91 days after we filed an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on behalf of a postdoctoral research associate from India, the USCIS granted their approval. Although our client opted for Premium Processing (PP), he waited 3 months to receive an approval notice because of the Request for Evidence (RFE) issued by the USCIS. Our legal team and support staff promptly responded to the RFE, which ultimately led to the approval of our client’s EB-1A petition.
What did the EB-1A petition contain?
A bulk of our client’s EB-1A petition contained information pertaining to his research on the synthesis of biologically active compounds as anticancer and antibacterial compounds in the field of medicinal chemistry. The research summary which he provided us detailed his investigations and thanks to that, we were able to conclude that his efforts are essential to the United States, most notably in the development of affordable and effective screening methods for infectious diseases.
Besides that, we noted the 25 times our client judged the work of his peers for various scientific journals, the 11 published articles to his name, and the 70 times his work was cited by other researchers around the world. Furthermore, we incorporated recommendation letters contributed by a handful of his peers, all of whom we helped select. By making sure that these respected recommenders were familiar with our client’s work, the recommendation letters that they signed served as strong evidence that prompted the USCIS to approve our client’s EB-1A petition. This is what one of our client’s recommenders said: “As a synthetic and medicinal chemistry expert, [Client] has performed paradigm-shifting research into the development of new synthetic pathways to compounds upon which novel therapies, antibiotics, and other medically-valuable products are based. Based on his strong academic background, prestigious research associateships, and peer-refereed publications, [Client] is an unequivocal leader in his unique subfield of chemistry.”
Obtaining green card success:
We congratulate our client for attaining an EB-1A petition approval. Now that the first step of the green card process is out of the way, all that stands between our client and his green card is the I-485 application. We wish him the best with this step and thank him for selecting our law firm to represent his EB-1A petition.
