Case Summary:
On February 4, 2013, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition approval from an RFE case. RFE cases (cases that are initially filed by another law firm and then are returned on the basis of a request for more evidence) typically account for more than 40% of our cases at Chen Immigration Law Associates. When a client receives an RFE notice it is typically due to both poor organization as well as a lack of quality recommendation letters. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates go above and beyond what is required to ensure that clients reapplying for an EB1-A receive a swift and decisive approval. When a client approaches us to evaluate their EB1-A request, we first analyze the RFE to see which parts of the petition are weakest. Thereafter, we assess these parts and then ameliorate the petition by adding supplemental evidence through recommendation letters. In this case we were tasked with improving the quality of evidence specifically in that this client’s work was extraordinary. We did this by drafting five recommendation letters from internationally respected professional’s that work both in and outside this client’s field of research. In addition to obtaining quality recommendation letters we also ameliorated this petition’s section regarding the request of more evidence of the original scientific contributions of major significance in the field of this client. We improved this section by utilizing an AAO decision that resulted in an approval for a case that had fewer citations than our client. This is an often-used methodology for many of our cases that need reorganization and a strengthening of argument.
Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on February 22, 2013. With this in consideration, it is important to emphasize that the processes and expertise practiced by Chen Immigration Law Associates. Not only do we develop the best possible strategies for each case, but we execute these strategies with the utmost effectiveness!
