Success Stories: EB-1A Petition Approved for Associate Research Scientist from China in the Field of Biomedical Science
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thanks your efforts for my case! Definitely, I will give you five stars for your service.”
On April 1st, 2016, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for an Associate Research Scientist in the Field of Biomedical Science (Approval Notice).
General Field: Biomedical Science
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Associate Research Scientist
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Connecticut
Approval Notice Date: April 1st, 2016
Processing Time: 2 months, 12 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Nearly two months after we filed an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on behalf of an associate research scientist from China, he decided that he wanted to upgrade his case to Premium Processing (PP). By paying the USCIS an additional $1,225, petitioners who qualify for PP will be treated to express adjudication (within 15 days). Exactly 15 days after the upgrade, our client received an eagerly awaited approval notice from Texas Service Center.
Our attorneys and support staff worked diligently to assemble a comprehensive EB-1A petition packet that featured all of our client’s colorful academic and professional achievements. Here are some of the main points that we focused on:
- Our client’s extensive experience working in the field of biomedical science resulted in 49 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 1 book.
- At the time of filing, our client’s work had accumulated 204 citations and he had already conducted 22 peer reviews for high impact scientific periodicals.
- Our client’s specialized research efforts on the intersections of human anatomy, histology, and embryology with pathogenic biology and preventive medicine improves the United States medical sector. His findings lend a hand in improving medical outcomes and decreasing medical costs.
- Our client’s work was described as “… of paramount interest both nationally and internationally…” and that “… He has demonstrated a consistency that is found in only the most renowned scientist.” These statements are excerpts from recommendation letters contributed by our client’s peers. They readily advocated for the approval of his EB-1A petition by contributing strong testimonials that highlighted the importance of his continued presence in the United States.
