Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Field of Biomedical Engineering
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you for your great help. I will put my recommendation on mitbbs website.
We Received EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval on March 3rd, 2015 for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Field of Biomedical Engineering (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Associate
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Illinois
Approval Notice Date: March 3rd, 2015
Processing Time: 4 Months, 14 Days
In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of Biomedical Engineering. He conducts his research on a highly specialized area focusing microRNA, small molecules, and cellular reprograming. His work had resulted in 22 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals and 1 patent. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 264 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also reviewed 26 manuscripts for at least 9 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]’s work is important because it has helped scientists overcome several limitations in the field of somatic cell reprogramming. This technology has recently become very popular and received great acclaim for its potential in regenerative medicine. Many scientists would like to use this new technology to carry out new projects, but it is difficult because of the low efficiency (~0.05%) and slow kinetics (at least one month) of the reprogramming process. […] [Client]’s creative reprogramming system, which substantially reduced the growth of partial colonies, has helped the field overcome many of these limitations.” 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 Biomedical Engineering, 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 just 4 months and 14 days.
