Case Summary:

A bioinformatics analyst approached North America Immigration Law Group to file his alien of extraordinary ability (EB1-A) petition. Hailing from India, he has completed his MS in computational biology and is currently employed in the field of bioinformatics.

Since, a petition for an employment-based immigration visa under the second preference (“EB-2”), unlike the first preference category of individuals with extraordinary ability, (“EB1-A”), at least requires:

• Evidence of original contributions, usually through publication, of major significance in the foreign national’s field of science, scholastic, artistic, or athletic.
• No specific job offer/labor certification is required for a foreign person as long as he/she is entering the United States to continue work in the field in which he/she has an extraordinary ability, therefore self-petition is allowed.
• Performance in a significant role for organizations or establishments that have a distinguished reputation.
• Receipt of a higher salary or remuneration than is usual in the field.
• Other comparable evidence if the above types of evidence do not readily apply to the foreign national’s occupation.

Therefore, we included the following essentials from his academic and professional records in his petition packet to make a convincing case in his favor:

• His biomedical engineering research addresses some of our nation’s and the world’s most pressing issues, including cancer research. He is particularly well-known for his contributions to the development of a software tool to enable scientists to conduct systematic reviews more quickly and accurately.
• His research has resulted in 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 1 book chapter, being cited 380 times in at least 42 countries.
• He has conducted at least 6 reviews for at least 5 journals and served as an associate editor for 1 journal and topic editor for another journal.
• His study has received funding from Small Business Innovation Research and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Our client’s research, therefore, serves as evidence that his work has benefits for the promotion of healthier lives in the environment.

• Four fellow experts in the field further provided insight into the significance of his continuing research in the field, one of whom remarked:

“[Client’s] unparalleled expertise has made him one of the most valuable researchers in the field of bioinformatics. There is no doubt that [client’s] contributions have made substantial progress for next-generation sequence analysis methods used within the United States and worldwide. His work must be allowed to continue uninterrupted.”

Finally, he achieved his EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval in just 14 days (thanks to premium processing). He had already received his NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval with our firm’s consistent support and dedication. We are happy to have been a part of his success journey and wish him a prosperous life ahead.
