Case Summary:

At North America Immigration Law Group, we recently received an EB-1B approval for an Assistant Professor in the field of computational biology. The beneficiary’s outstanding ability, highly skilled background, and impressive record of achievement provided a strong case for her EB-1B petition. Her specialized research has focused on understanding the interactions between genes and therapeutic drugs, as well as the changes in the human genome associated with aging and complex human diseases. Her research work had resulted in 23 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 1 invited book chapter and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. She had also reviewed 12 manuscripts for journals at the time we filed the case. Furthermore, the beneficiary had a total of 929 citations to her work by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. The petitioner in this case was a university. The significance of the beneficiary’s research is confirmed in the following quote by an independent recommender, “Overall, [Client’s] research is of great significance for a number of diseases, such as AIDS and cancer, which have a great impact on our society. These diseases are currently incurable and therefore there is a need for computational methods capable of discovering causative mechanisms of these disorders, to achieve a therapeutic strategy. [Client] has made significant discoveries and publications in this area.” It was our goal to prove that this beneficiary qualified for classification as an outstanding professor or researcher given the international recognition for her outstanding achievements. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 24 days (6 days after requesting Premium Processing).
