Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for a Research Associate in Washington in the Field of Molecular Biology
On February 17th, 2015, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Research Associate in the Field of Molecular Biology (Approval Notice))
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Associate
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Washington
Approval Notice Date: February 17th, 2015
Processing Time: 24 days (5 days after Requesting Premium Processing)
In this case we were offered the opportunity to work with a molecular biologist from China whose highly specialized work involved the study of the genetic architecture and molecular mechanisms of several key animal models to improve the understanding of the mammalian nervous system. He had produced 13 peer-reviewed journal articles and given numerous presentations at national and international conferences; altogether our client’s work had received no fewer than 262 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, showing its major significance within his field. He had also reviewed 23 manuscripts for 11 prominent, internationally-circulated journals. An independent recommender endorsed our client’s superior level of expertise: “The momentous nature of [Client’s] technique and improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms and genetic structures that influence specific cell behaviors constitutes incontrovertible evidence that he is among the top researchers in neurobiology and genomics in the world.” 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 Molecular Biology, 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 24 days (5 days after requesting Premium Processing).
