Case Summary:

Here at Chen Immigration Law Associates, we recently received another EB1A approval for an assistant research scientist in the field of agricultural science. This client has focused on the effects of global climate change on agricultural crops. His work has resulted in at least 16 peer-reviewed scientific articles as well as 1 book chapter, and numerous national and international conference proceedings and presentations. In addition, our client’s publications have been cited at least 324 times by leading and independent researchers around the world. Our client’s expertise can also be seen in a quote by an independent recommender, “I am confident that he will continue to make significant and innovative contributions to understanding and alleviating environmental stress effects on crop production. His extraordinary productivity provides strong assurance that [the Petitioner] will continue to be an outstanding and productive scientist.” It was our goal to prove that this client qualifies for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability given that he seeks to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability, and his continued research will substantially and prospectively benefit the United States.
