Success Story: EB-1A Approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow Research Associate in the Field of Biochemistry in only 20 days
Client’s Testimonial:
It is nice experience working with Chen Immigration office. I will definitely recommend your team to my friends in the future.
On October 11th, 2013 we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow Research Associate in the field of Biochemistry in only 20 days (Approval Notice)
General Field: Biochemistry
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow Research Associate
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Texas Service Center
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Georgia
Approval Notice Date: October 11th, 2013
Processing Time: 20 days
Case Summary:
The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time. In this instance, the case was approved in only 20 days.
Another exceptional client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Fellow Research Associate from China working in the field of Biochemistry. Specifically, her work focused on improving disease diagnostics and treatment through the development of novel biomarkers for cancer detection. Her work had resulted in at least 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles. At the time that her case was filed, her publications had accumulated at least 392 citations, clearly demonstrating that she had influenced field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, various experts and editors had requested her professional service as a reviewer of manuscripts for publication for top-tier field journals and she had conducted 8 paper reviews at the time of filing. Of her accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “The implications and scope of [her] work to national academic and institutional interests are clear. Her insight and technical prowess have enabled her to make advancements to highly complex fields, where demanding nature of the subject matter makes obtaining results such as hers difficult. In that respect, [she] has made herself indispensable to the field of biochemical and nanoparticle research.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Biochemistry, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. Through extensive documentation, we successfully argued that our client met the requirements for an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, and her I-140 application was approved in just 20 days.
