Case Summary:

Chen Immigration Law Associates recently received an EB1A approval for a professor in the field of medical oncology and epigenetics. This client sought to enter the United States to continue his research focused on the study of cancer stem cells, genetic markers, and cervical and ovarian cancer. Successful research in this field of endeavor develops a better understanding of both the causes of cancer and treatment/detection options, which in turn leads to a higher standard of patient care and better health outcomes. It was our goal to prove that this client qualifies for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability given that he seeks to enter the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability and that his entry into the United States will substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. Our client’s contributions to the field are also recognized by other experts in his field, notably in a statement by an independent recommender who stated, “Such a skilled, experienced researcher as [the Petitioner] would be of great benefit to the United States of America. The U.S. is a leading force in the medical world, and its technologies and innovations are driven by the recruitment of world leaders in related research fields.” Furthermore, our client’s work has resulted in at least 55 peer-reviewed scholarly articles accepted or published in leading journals, 2 patents (1 in the United States), numerous provisional or pending patents, and countless conference presentations and proceedings. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates collected recommendation letters from leading experts in the field that argue the necessity of continuation of our client’s research. This client's case was approved in just 6 days after upgrading to premium processing.
