Recently we received another EB1a (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) from a Cardiologist after RFE (Request for Evidence). (Approval Notice)
General Field: Cardiovascular Medicine and Public Health Position at the Time of Case Filing: Resident Assistant Professor National Origin: India Service Center: Nebraska Processing Time: 89 Days
Case Summary:
In this specific case, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates assisted a client who had received a RFE (Request for Evidence) after his initial filing. Although receiving an RFE does not necessarily mean that a petition will be denied, it is important that all evidence is presented in the most comprehensive manner possible to ensure a timely approval.
As this petitioner was working as an Assistant Professor during the time of his original petition, but focused predominantly on research in the field of cardiovascular medicine and public heath, it was crucial that his influence on the public health sector be emphasized in order to meet the criteria outlined by this petition. Specifically, this client had spent a significant portion of research focusing on specific cardiovascular research and clinical/patient outcomes, which resulted in his influence on public health in the United States and worldwide through the FDA’s issue of a warning for the drug Celxa. It is through this work that the client impacted the field of cardiovascular medicine and public health as a whole, while simultaneously rising to the very top of his field of endeavor and enjoying substantial international acclaim.
In order to provide additional evidence supporting the merit of this client’s work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates outlined his achievements and qualifications through the drafting of eight recommendation letters on behalf of experts in numerous associated fields. These recommendation letters were submitted to be reviewed, edited, and signed, providing significant evidence of this client’s support for ongoing research in the United States, as well as, substantial testimony of his impact and contributions to the field of cardiovascular medicine and public health. Furthermore, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates documented the significant published works of this client and substantial citation record associated with these works, granting additional evidence of his exceptional and extraordinary ability associated with his field of endeavor.
With consideration of providing additional evidence for a swift approval of this petition, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates worked diligently to research AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) decisions that strengthened the credentials of this client, through the reference and comparison of appealed petitions granted to candidates with less impressive or substantial credentials.
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 in just 89 Days.
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!
