Success Stories: Researcher in the Field of Pharmaceutical Sciences in North Carolina Receives EB-1B Approval After 1 Month, 13 Days
On February 26, 2014, A Researcher in the Field of Pharmaceutical Sciences Received EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) Approval 1 Month, 13 Days After Filing Her Case (Approval Notice)
General Field: Pharmaceutical Sciences
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher
Petitioner: A World Class Biopharmaceutical CMO/CDMO Services Organization
National Origin: India

State Residing at the Time of Filing: North Carolina
Approval Notice Date: February 26, 2013
Processing Time: 1 Month, 13 Days
Case Summary:
North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a researcher in the field of Pharmaceutical Sciences who had researched the interactions of anti-cancer drugs and DNA-repair proteins with DNA, as well as how to improve DNA sequencing. Additionally, she had characterized the nature of DNA damage in cells pertaining to cell mutagenicity and cytotoxicity, studied the Charge Transfer phenomena, and focused on the properties of DNA in order to carry out biological processes, such as mutagenesis and anti-tumor activity. More recently, this client had focused on biological pharmaceuticals, such as proteins, and the investigation of potential stability issues. These aforementioned studies had resulted in 15 conference proceedings, 12 journal publications, and 1 book chapter, which had been cited 73 times at the time of filing this case. These citations clearly demonstrate that others in the field rely on this client’s research. Furthermore, she had been invited to review 7 articles which had been submitted to prestigious journals and conferences. One independent recommender explained:“[Client’s] research of course needs to be read to be digested and utilized, and she has already been extensively referenced for her work. This is a particularly positive occurrence. [Client] has, in addition to the microcosm that I have illustrated, produced results that will be pivotal to anti-cancer research; her work is as potentially lifesaving as it is relevant to technological and biological concerns. Her study of the thermodynamic properties of DNA, specifically in understanding their role in important biological and chemical processes, has led to a clearer fundamental understanding of how DNA damage in the body is caused and subsequently naturally repaired. By that same token, her work is also proving significant in optimizing proton charge transfer in DNA that is being used in the development of technology like biosensors.” This EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) petition received approval after only 1 month, 13 days.
