Case Summary:
A research associate from India hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help her attain green cards for herself and her spouse. Although our client initially opted out of Premium Processing, she changed her mind a month and a half later and elected to upgrade her case. Exactly a week later, she received notification of her EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition approval.
Building a Strong EB-1A Case:
We spent several months amassing as much information as we could on our client’s various accomplishments in the field of biochemistry. We had to prove to the USCIS that her work is of great value to the United States, and one way to do that was to review and account for her research projects on cancer cell biology for the development of more powerful cancer therapeutics. Based on what we gathered, we demonstrated that our client’s findings progress the country’s development of more effective cancer treatments, which in turn impacts the overall health of Americans. Besides detailing her research ventures, we also noted her 20 scientific articles, 3 book chapters, and 4 papers for scientific meetings and workshops. Data on the 533 citations to her work was also noted, along with her peer review experience (4 reviews in total at the time of filing).
To make the EB-1A case even stronger, we incorporated third-party support. Six of our client’s peers signed recommendation letters that confirmed the value of her work to the field of biochemistry as well as to the nation as a whole. One of her recommenders stated that “… Investing in her current and future research projects will certainly result in additional insight into matters of national and international importance, as evidenced by her contributions to the field so far. Therefore, I highly recommend that she be provided the opportunity to continue her work unhindered.”
Final Step towards a Green Card:
Our client is currently taking the final step towards her green card. She recently retained our expert services to help her prepare and file an I-485 application. Once this is approved, she will become an American permanent resident. We look forward to congratulating her on her green card approval, and thank her for choosing our firm to help her get it.
