Case Summary:

Texas Service Center (TSC) found our client, an Indian resident physician, to be a deserving candidate for EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability). The fact that his work aids the United States in understanding the mechanisms underlying pancreatic diseases and in developing cutting-edge therapeutics for their treatment undoubtedly paved the way for EB-1A approval. Before establishing an attorney-client relationship, North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) carefully studied our client’s credentials to determine his veracity. Once we were assured that his credentials qualified him for EB-1A, we counter-signed the retainer agreement and got to work building his case. Here are some of the key points we focused on:

• Research Details: In order to prove that our client’s work is important to the United States, we first had to account for and understand his research focus. Largely thanks to the comprehensive research summary which he provided us, we determined that his work is focused on the biology of pancreatic diseases and the development of improved clinical treatments for these conditions. We established that his findings are essential to the nation as they provide insights and guidelines for the treatment of acute and chronic pancreatitis as well as open up new pathways in pharmaceutical development for the treatment of this disease.
• Citation Count and Publication: Our client’s extensive experience in the field of gastroenterology had led to the publication of 10 peer-reviewed scientific articles, all of which had been cited a total of 134 times when we filed the case.
• Peer Review Service: To further illustrate our client’s leadership role in the field, we noted the 20 times he had conducted peer review for various high-impact scientific journals.
• Additional Evidence: Like any legal case, we had to present evidence to support our argument that our client deserved to get one step closer to a green card. We did this by urging our client to collect recommendation letters from a handful of his peers. These letters confirmed the value of our client’s work to the US and contained statements such as: “Because of the large number of patients who experience hospitalization due to pancreatitis, [client’s] research on the topic is of great interest to individual patients and to the healthcare system as a whole in the United States.” The customized EB-1A petition packet which we arranged for our client also included graphs and data to indicate that our client’s publications have been cited at a much higher rate than those of other researchers in the field, distinguishing him from his peers.

His case was approved by the USCIS in 5 months and 27 days, we congratulate our client for securing an EB-1A petition approval. We thank him for choosing to work with our law firm. It was a pleasure helping him with the first step of the green card process and we thank him for trusting us for his NIW case.
