Client’s Testimonial:
It gives me immense pleasure to recommend [Chen Immigration Team]. They have displayed utmost professionalism and excellence representing my case to USCIS for an EB-1A approval with a positive outcome. In view of a bad experience with a prior well known attorney I approached [Chen Immigration Team] with my case which I felt deserved a positive outcome. [Chen Immigration Team] was extremely punctual with answering my mails, very well organized in the thought process and flawlessly represented my case to USCIS.
Honestly this is one [firm] I would have recommended without inhibition even if my case was rejected. I wholeheartedly endorse [Chen Immigration Team] for the wonderful job they do.

Case Summary:
Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Medical Director and Chief of Opthamology from India working in the field of pediatric opthamology. He came to us after his EB-1A case had been denied after being filed by another firm. Upon evaluation of his case, we felt he had strong credentials and we could successfully re-file his case under EB-1A. His work had ranged from improving our scientific understanding of the neurophysiology of the visual system in children to understand the recurrence of amblyopia after occlusion therapy, to using high-resolution orbital structure imaging to better understand the etiology of ocular motor disorders, as well as work in developing innovative surgical techniques to treat ocular misalignment. His work had resulted in at least 58 scientific publications, either as peer-reviewed journals or conference presentations. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had accumulated at least 152 citations, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, he had conducted 38 paper reviews for 8 journals related to the field of pediatric opthamology. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “I can independently verify that [the client] has become an international expert in ophthalmology whose visionary innovations and expertise have advanced the field.”
It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of pediatric opthamology, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 5 months.
