Success Stories: EB1A Approval for a Biophysicist and Assistant Professor in the field of Theoretical and Computational Biomechanics in 5 weeks

Client's Testimonials:

Dear Chen Immigration Law Associates ,

First of all, I'd like to thank the great work you have done in my case. I know this is not a smooth case and it has took quite a long time. But I felt extremely lucky to have you help me from the start to the approval, especially given the unconventional NOID preparation. Thank you very much! On July 29th, 2013 we received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Biophysicist and Assistant Professor in the field of Theoretical and Computational Biomechanics (Approval Notice)


General Field: Theoretical and Computational Biomechanics

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Biophysicist and Assistant Professor

National Origin:  China

Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)

State Residing at the Time of Filing:  Maryland

Approval Notice Date: July 29, 2013

Processing Time:  5 weeks (Premium Processing Service requested after responding to NOID)


Case Summary:

The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time.

The client in this case was a biophysicist and assistant professor in the field of theoretical and computational biomechanics. His work had elucidated the mechanics of molecular and cellular events that affect the survival of the host organism with a view toward discovering the fundamental mechanisms of diseases, including intrinsic and environmental diseases. His work had resulted in at least 13 peer-reviewed scientific articles and his publications had garnered at least 381 citations at the time his case was filed, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim.  In addition, he had reviewed 8 manuscripts for publication. Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “[Client] has significant standing in the field of biophysics, and his findings are widely used by researchers in the field, with the effect of expanding the understanding of various aspects of biophysics to previously unattainable levels.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of theoretical and computational biomechanics, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in just 5 weeks.
