General Field: Biotechnology Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher National Origin: India Service Center: Texas Processing Time: 10 Days

Case Summary:

In this specific case, the client had been working in the field of Crop Science and Biotechnology. In these fields, her work had focused on the investigation of plant mechanisms affected by environmental stresses, in order to identify and produce stronger, hardier crops with increased yield and enhanced drought-resistance, for implementation by marginalized populations in arid regions.

Considering the wide-spread focus of this research, it was important to clearly identify the significant contributions this client had made to these fields, in order to justify her extraordinary ability.

With this in consideration, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates identified this client’s four largest contributions to these two fields and reinforced the impact of this research through the drafting of several recommendation letters that were signed by experts in various fields of research.

Additionally, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates researched a plethora of AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) decisions that set precedence for establishing evidence in similar cases. As this client had received media coverage for her contributions to the field of Biotechnology, we cited an AAO decision that allowed for the citation of received media coverage to show the impact of a client's research on a national scale. Furthermore, we researched and highlighted the impact of this client’s work to the overall fields of Crop Science and Biotechnology through numerous sources that reinforced the contributions provided by this client’s published research.

Using this proven strategy, 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 20th, 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!
