Case Summary:
When our client, a hospitalist with an MBBS degree, approached North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) for assistance with EB-1A filing, we first evaluated his credentials. We were impressed with the 40 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 18 electronic book chapters he had published and the 520 citations that they had obtained. Moreover, the fact that he had conducted 161 peer reviews further showcased his respected standing in the field.
Based on our client’s aforementioned research achievements, we decided to represent his EB-1A case. After countersigning the legal agreement, we started assembling a well-structured petition that consisted of his scholarly contributions, recommendation letters, and other evidence of his extraordinary ability.
“[Client’s] diversity of skills sets him apart from others in the field, as his technical mastery allows him to design and execute complex studies on disease management and treatment. The diversity and range of his competency is very difficult to replace since he is an extremely valuable individual conducting research in the field.” This statement was taken from a recommendation letter in support of our client’s EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition. Several other experts also contributed recommendation letters, all of which provided the USCIS with a clear picture of our client’s expertise in the field of internal medicine.
We also demonstrated that our client’s research on the etiology, diagnosis, evaluation, and management of pancreatic disorders and acute pancreatitis, as well as the epidemiology and treatment of various cancers addresses some of the United States’ most pressing issues in understanding gastrointestinal disorders and cancers. We persuaded the USCIS that his research directly aids the American medical and pharmaceutical industries and his achievements are of the utmost importance due to their contributions to human health and wellbeing.
In addition to carefully assembling the required documents to file the EB-1A petition on behalf of our client, our team has included customized figures and tables for visualization to indicate that our client’s publications have been cited at a much higher rate than those of other researchers in the field, distinguishing him from his peers. The visual presentation of the data has indeed further demonstrated and supported the argument in the petition letter drafted by us.
We truly appreciate our client for trusting us with the preparation of his EB-1A case and for giving us an opportunity to also represent the I-485 applications for him and his spouse. His EB-1A case was approved in just 11 days, thanks to Premium Processing (PP). We wish our client the best as he continues to advance the field of internal medicine here in the United States.
