Case Summary:
Although the average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months, North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com obtained EB1A approval in only 32 days. The client in this case was a Postdoctoral Fellow conducting research on the biochemical mechanisms behind the process of tooth decay, and with a long history of research on cancer and age-related deterioration in the human body. Her pioneering work had included the finding that grape seed extract can reduce the oxidative stress that damages cells and causes impaired cognitive functioning in the elderly, along with the discovery of a homing peptide that targets tumor cells and can be used in the delivery of anti-cancer drugs. With 10 peer-reviewed journal articles and 270 citations at the date of filing, the client had clearly shown a strong influence on the biochemistry field. One of her independent recommenders remarked upon her history of accomplishments, saying: “I am pleased to write this note in regards to [the client] and her truly excellent research work. [She] is an eminent scientist, whose work has been regularly advancing the progress of science in the field of biochemistry and understanding of the aging process, including the pathogenesis of age-related neurological disorders.” We were able to effectively argue that she had made original contributions of major significance in the field of biochemistry, had evidence of authorship in professional publications, and had sufficient experience as a judge of others in the field. With our petition, we established that the client’s work had appeared in some of the highest impact journals in the field, and had been widely implemented in the biochemistry and medical communities. Through the collection of testimonials and supporting evidence, we were able to definitively prove that the client qualified as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability.
