Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you very much for your professional and efficient assistance. I will definitely refer my friends who plan to file the green cards to your firm and will also recommend your firm on Mitbbs, since I got to know your law firm from Mitbbs. I already retained a lawyer before paying additional attorney fee to hire your law firm. Judging from the result, I finally got my money’s worth. Lol. Thank you again!”

Case Summary:

A gifted postdoctoral associate from Virginia hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on her behalf. Despite her strong credentials, the USCIS spent a year processing her case before granting their approval. It may have taken longer had our client not upgraded her case to Premium Processing (PP). Just 10 days after her case was upgraded, she received notification of case approval.

Highlighting her credentials:

Our client’s EB-1A petition packet was composed of details pertaining to her leadership role in the field of medicinal chemistry. The key points we focused on encompassed her peer review experience, publication record, and citation count. When we filed the case, these figures stood at 31 peer reviews, 11 published papers, and 129 citations to her work. Presented together, these achievements made it very clear that our client deserved to have her EB-1A petition approved. Besides her professional accomplishments, we also noted her Ph.D. in Bioorganic Chemistry and incorporated recommendation letters to strengthen the petition. These letters were readily volunteered by six experts in our client’s field. Not only did they strongly advocate for the approval of our client’s EB-1A, they also briefly discussed her research on developing a convergent method for α-ketoamide synthesis, developing Pin1 inhibitors for anticancer drug targets, understanding the Pin1 catalysis mechanism, and the cycloaddition of biologically active compounds for the development of superior therapeutic agents. Thanks to their letters, the USCIS had additional evidence that pointed to the significance of our client’s work to the U.S. medical and drug development sectors.

According to one of our client’s recommenders, a well-known professor working in the field: “It pleases me a great deal to endorse [Client’s] research in medicinal chemistry, which is exceptionally valuable for the development of drugs for treating some of the gravest diseases plaguing humanity, including cancer. She is an irreplaceable asset to the research community, producing work that is both industrially and clinical beneficial. I encourage you to allow her to continue her research in the United States, as she will continue to produce excellent findings necessary for beating cancer in her future work.”

We are pleased that the USCIS agreed with this recommender’s assessment and ultimately approved our client’s EB-1A petition. We thank our client for choosing to work with our law firm and we wish her the best as she continues to lend a hand in the evolution of medicinal chemistry.
