Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Postdoctoral Researcher in Pennsylvania in the Field of Molecular Virology
Client’s Testimonial:
I can't imagine how much delighted I am to hear the approval news. Recently USCIS has been implementing strict rules for EB1A approval. One good thing that I did was to consult Chen Immigration and Attorneys. Lawyers at Chen Immigration and Attorneys are extremely helpful and professional. This firm is well aware of the current trends in EB1A approvals. They prepared a strong case for me. Unfortunately, I received one RFE, but they logically analyzed the RFE and responded successfully. I sincerely appreciate the help and the effort that this law firm put together during the past several months in handling my case. It has been a pleasant experience to work with Ms. Victoria Chen. I highly recommend Chen Immigration and Attorneys.

Our client this time was a postdoctoral molecular virologist from India whose research focused on the highly specialized topics of virus-host interaction and the characterization of host proteins that regulate virus infection. He had published a total of 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles as well as 4 international conference presentations. At the time we filed his case, his work had received no fewer than 131 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions worldwide, indicating its major significance in the field. He had also reviewed 3 scientific manuscripts for renowned international journals. An independent recommender confirmed his superior level of expertise: “Genome-wide RNAi screens are extremely challenging and labor intensive and [Client’s] record attests his outstanding accomplishments in using this technology to prove virus-host interactions.” 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 Virology, 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 seven months and seventeen days.
