Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Postdoctoral Researcher in Colorado in the Field of Biomedical Engineering

 

Client’s Testimonial:

 

I have been recommending NAmILG to colleagues and friends for their immigration needs since the time I retained your firm for my EB1A petition. I do know for sure that one of them did consult with you and was advised to build his resume for EB1A filing.

Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Researcher from India in the field of Biomedical Engineering.  His specialized research has focused on developing novel strategies to target circulating cancer cells. His work had resulted in 9 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 16 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 217 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work.  He had also reviewed 13 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “As a diagnostic tool, CTCs can be used to indicate the presence of a tumor before it is large enough to cause noticeable symptoms. [Client] developed a capture device that takes advantage of certain properties of CTCs and is capable of isolating them from the blood stream by flowing them through a selectin and antibody-coated microtube.” 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 5 months and 16 days.
