Chen Immigration Law Associates recently received an EB1A  for an assistant research scientist from India. This client seeks to enter the United States to continue working in the field of molecular biology. Our client’s work primarily focused on infectious disease, specializing on host-pathogen interactions and genomics research, with particular emphasis on the pathogenic mycobaterica Mycobaterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis and the associated diseases they cause, including Johne’s disease and bovine tuberculosis in ruminants and tuberculosis and Crohn’s disease in humans. 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 work has resulted in 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 1 book chapter, and numerous national and international conference presentations. His publications have been cited at least 227 times by researchers from all around the world. His contributions to the field are also recognized by other experts, notably in a statement by an independent recommender who stated, “[The Petitioner] possesses the research skills, knowledge, and expertise that denote him as a scientist of extraordinary ability working on a very important infectious disease. It is clearly in the best interests of the United States retain his services by granting him permanent residency.” 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 work. This client’s case was approved in just 7 weeks.
