Success Stories: EB1A Approval for a Researcher in the field of Chemistry in 5 weeks
Client’s Testimonial:
Thanks a lot for your help and taking my case. Congratulations to you too. I would be happy to recommend you.
On August 14th, 2013 we received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Researcher in the field of Chemistry (Approval Notice)
General Field: Chemistry Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher National Origin: India Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas Approval Notice Date: August 14, 2013 Processing Time:5 weeks
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.
The client in this case was a researcher in the field of chemistry. Her work had primarily focused on the research and development of biologically active molecules for drug discovery, the synthesis of molecules to capture carbon dioxide from fossil fuel plants for CO2 reduction in the environment, and polymer grafting for industrial applications. Her work had resulted in at least 14 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 17 conference publications. At the time that her case was filed, her publications had accumulated at least 225 citations, clearly demonstrating that she had influenced her field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, she had conducted 14 paper reviews for journals related to the field of chemistry. Of her accomplishments, one of her independent recommenders remarked, “[Client] is a scientist of extraordinary vision and ability whose work, both today and in the past, serves to augment the great body of work in the field of chemistry being done in this country. Her continued work with molecular design and pharmaceutical synthesis is vital for the United States to continue to advance the treatments of devastating diseases. The advancements she has already made prove that her career will be a long and fruitful one, particularly for the country in which she does her work.” 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 Chemistry, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in just 5 weeks.
