Client’s testimonial

The experience I had working with Chen Immigration Law associates was wonderful. They are very simple, soft spoken, never crossed the due date, did what said in the website/telephonic conversation. They asked me to write my work and I did that and then they drafted the 6 letters of recommendation including the petition letter. Chen Immigration Law associates made everything easy for me. I just looked online and sent my CV. They replied back to me immediately and started working together. As a researcher I am so busy but they made me comfortable with my work. My I-140-was approved just after few days of PP without RFE, in total within three weeks. Without Chen Immigration Law associates's hard work I don't think my case would have been approved. I will highly recommend Chen Immigration Law associates to my friends or anyone who needs to apply immigration visa in the future.

On December 20th, 2012, we received another EB1A (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Postdoc Researcher working in the field of Plant Biology. (Approval Notice)

General Field: Plant Biology Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher National Origin: India Service Center: Texas Processing Time: 22 Days

Case Summary:

When filing an EB1a case, it is extremely important that the information and evidence is organized and presented correctly. Even in strong cases, an incorrect presentation of evidence will often lead to a RFE (Request for Evidence) or denial. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates have developed strategies for filing each type of case and tailor these strategies based on the demands of each individual client.

In this specific case, the client had a substantial amount of citations from varied published works. In addition, many of his published papers had received attention from numerous outlets within the scientific community. Because this client had a documented record of influence and contributions to his field of endeavor, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates developed a strategy to highlight the body of this client’s work.

First, we provided a documented record of the influence of the client’s research by drafting six letters on behalf of experts in the field to review, edit, and sign. These letters emphasized the major contributions the client’s work has had on the field of Plant Biology.

Additionally, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates, researched the impact of each article written by the client, using several research outlets and systems to establish indicators used to reinforce the influence of this client’s work on the field of Plant Biology.

Finally, we researched case decisions made by the AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) and cited these rulings to further substantiate the importance of ruling in favor of this client’s petition.

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!
