“Great experience with Chen immigration attorneys and excellent quality of reference letters and petitions generated by them! They definitely made it easier for me in this stressful time to get everything streamlined and submitted in a very time-sensitive manner. I will 100% recommend them to anyone else who needs green card processing help! Thank you for all your hard work and excellent quality of work!”

Case Summary:

An EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition approval was granted to a quality control analyst II with an MS in pharmaceutical sciences and drug delivery systems from India. Before moving ahead with a client-attorney agreement, our law group evaluated her provided credentials to determine her NIW’s success. We declared that we could lead her to obtain the national interest waiver after a complete evaluation only.

Our team thus followed a full-fledged process of analyzing her background, paperwork, and the associated evidence, and were then only confident that they were enough to persuade USCIS and get her the required approval.

Since the method of obtaining a green card involves two steps, that is, filing an I-140 petition and an I-485 application, our client even retained us for another I-140 petition under the EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) visa category.

We noted the following important aspects to make her case a success:

• The 3 peer-reviewed scientific articles she published in some of the most discerning, high-impact journals in her field of vaccine immunology.
• An awe-inspiring record of obtaining 483 citations in other peer-reviewed journal articles.
• Cited by researchers in at least 41 countries.
• Also, she has conducted at least 5 reviews for at least 3 journals and conference proceedings.

Moreover, our client’s vaccine development and clinical trial quality control research addresses some of our nation’s and the world’s most pressing issues, including the need for safe and effective vaccines for various diseases, such as tuberculosis and HIV. Her strong background in the way vaccine regimens affect the immune system and the mechanisms regulating vaccine protection has allowed her research to be particularly original, resulting in her success in fundamentally transforming vaccine development approaches.

Furthermore, our client’s research has regularly received funding from the prestigious National Institutes of Health and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This funding supports projects that enhance health, reduce illness and disability, and minimize disease.

Therefore her impressive background, strong record of past achievements, recognition of expertise by journals seeking her services to review manuscripts, and unique knowledge relevant to her current and future work indicate not only that she qualifies as an alien of extraordinary ability but also that her entry will substantially benefit prospectively the United States.

Moreover, the following statement is excerpted from one of the four recommendation letters submitted:

“For this reason and others that I will list in this letter, I urge you to allow [client’s] research within the United States to continue without delay. Not only does her work benefit national interests, but her research holds an incredibly valuable place in her academic field and the global scientific community as they pursue novel treatment measures for some of the most infectious and devastating conditions that exist today.”

This evidence shows that our client is one of that small percentage who has risen to the very top of her field and has sustained both national and international acclaim. She is therefore fully qualified as an individual of extraordinary ability in her field of expertise.

We are exhilarated that our team was once again successful in persuading USCIS of the importance of our client’s research in the United States. Thus, she was granted not only NIW but also EB1-A approval with our firm’s consistent support. We would sincerely like to thank her for choosing our law firm for the I-140 petitions and wish her success in her future endeavors.
