Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Postdoctoral Researcher in Maryland in the Field of Biomaterial Engineering
Client’s Testimonial:
I greatly appreciate your help and look forward to working with you on my I-485 petition.
On December 11th, 2014, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Field of Biomaterial Engineering (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Researcher
Country of Origin: India
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Maryland
Approval Notice Date: December 11th, 2014
Processing Time: 21 Days (16 Days after Premium Processing Requested)
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Researcher from India in the field of Biomaterial Engineering. His specialized research has focused on engineering musculoskeletal tissue and creating medical implants to drive biomedical innovations. His work had resulted in 16 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 patents and at least 27 conference publications, invited talks, oral and poster presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 379 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 20 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] was successful in the increased rate of bone cell growth by administering an electro-thermal polarization treatment coupled with the altering of charge polarity and wettability/surface energy at the surface of the material. This tool was proven to be a feasible mechanism in surface modification during fabrication of load-bearing polarized HAp coated metallic implants. It also gave these implants heightened bioactivity, which can lead to faster healing and stronger bone growth in surgical procedures.” 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 Biomaterial 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 21 days.
