Case Summary:

With each EB1A (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) petition it is crucial that the information is organized in accordance with the requirements set forth by the USCIS. With this in consideration, it is important to note that over 40% of the business at Chen Immigration Law Associates is the result of cases filed unsuccessfully by other law firms or individuals themselves. With this in mind, the gathering of data and evidentiary support is ultimately what determines the approval or denial for each case.

In this specific case, the client had worked predominantly in the field of Genomics and Quantitative Genetics. As this client had original and significant contributions in this field it was important to establish sufficient evidence of these contributions in order to provide this client with the best chance at a swift approval.

In order to do so, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates highlighted this client’s work through the drafts of seven recommendation letters that were sent out for review, edits, and signing by the recommenders. Once all letters were signed and returned to us at Chen Immigration Law Associates, we were able to create the testimonial letter for the client. These letters can be vital in establishing evidence of a client’s contributions to a field of endeavor (beyond publications and referenced citations).

Beyond providing additional support through the drafting of recommendation letters, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates are constantly researching new Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) decisions and applicable court rulings to cite for additional evidentiary support in each case. In this particular case, the citation of an AAO decision that ruled in favor of a petitioner with fewer citations than this client, added to the significant amount of evidence established in this case, and led to a fast approval for this petition.

Using these proven strategies, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on December 28th, 2012.

With this in consideration, it is important to emphasize that the processes and expertise practiced by Chen Immigration Law Associates. Not only do we develop the best possible strategies for each case, but we execute these strategies with the utmost effectiveness!
