Client's Testimonials:

Thank you [Chen Immigration and Law Associates] very much for your help! It was possible only because of you.

On July 26th, 2013 we received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the field of Prostate and Pancreatic Cancer Research (Approval Notice)

General Field: Prostate and Pancreatic Cancer Research Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Fellow National Origin: India Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing: Alabama Approval Notice Date: July 26, 2013 Processing Time: 7 weeks

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 postdoctoral research fellow in the field of prostate and pancreatic cancer research. His work had focused on the study of the transcription factor Myb and its role in the pathogenesis of both prostate and pancreatic cancers as well as on the importance of several microRNAs in the development of pancreatic cancer. His work had resulted in at least 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles. His publications had garnered at least 111 citations at the time his case was filed, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, he had conducted 10 paper reviews for numerous journals related to the area of cancer research. Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “[Client’s] research represents cutting edge work in the field of pancreatic cancer research. It has been well published in the top scientific journals in his discipline and well recognized by other researchers in the form of multiple and significant citations. It is my considered opinion that he will continue to produce important findings in the area of cancer research.” 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 prostate and pancreatic cancer research, 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 7 weeks.
