On June 10th, 2021, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Bioinformatics Scientist in the Field of Immunology (Approval Notice).


General Field: Immunology

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Bioinformatics Scientist

Country of Origin: China

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Maryland

Approval Notice Date: June 10th, 2021

Processing Time: 8 months


Case Summary:

With an M.Sc. in molecular biology and biochemistry and a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences, our client has achieved a consistent and notable record of success and influence in this area of study. When he hired North America Immigration Law Group, he undoubtedly possessed the ability to continue further in the field of immunology. After thoroughly evaluating his credentials, we agreed to file his EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition. We highlighted the following information in his EB1A petition packet to lead him to EB1A success:

  • We detailed the 314 times his work was cited by other researchers in at least 30 countries, confirming that these publications are well-acknowledged all around the world. Therefore, this confirms that he has a demonstrable and important influence over his peers, as they are actively using the knowledge that he is producing to advance their research works. As such, this high citation count provides concrete evidence of the scientific value of his work.
  • Also, we specified his prolific publication record i.e., 26 peer-reviewed scientific articles, all of which were published in some of the most impacting journals, providing additional evidence of both his scientific proficiency and his valuable contributions to the immunology field. In addition, we noted the impressive 30 times our client appraised the work of his peers for four highly discerning journals with very stringent publishing guidelines. His peer-review contributions are confirmed by expert statements, proving his active and actual participation as a judge of the work of other experts in the field.
  • It was inevitable for us to discuss his proposed research work focusing on using a novel bioinformatics method to assess viral transmission between two individuals with whole-genome and pol next-generation sequencing data, addressing some of our nation’s most pressing issues, including techniques to identify groups of people with infections to more quickly respond to these infections and therefore prevent their spread either through vaccine development or new antiretroviral regimens.
  • Moreover, his research got supported by funding from leading agencies, including the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the National Institutes of Health. Within the NIH, the NIAID concentrates on research specific to prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases, and thus this funding grants demonstrate the ultimate importance of our client’s research.
  • Besides, we incorporated four recommendation letters provided by other well-recognized researchers in the field, one of whom stated that:

“[Client’s] many contributions to immunology have solidified his status as a researcher of irreplaceable value. His continued work in the field is vital to global efforts in addressing threats such as viral infection and developing effective solutions that enhance public health.”

Successfully, we were able to persuade USCIS that our client deserves to continue his work in the United States due to its intrinsic benefits to patients and the United States’ healthcare system. Thus, our client obtained his EB1A petition approval. We would like to thank our team’s hard work and our client’s cooperation throughout the adjudication process. We also congratulate him for achieving this great milestone.

Our team was quick to respond, and after a detailed brief of the action plan, she settled on upgrading her case for premium processing. This is how her case could get approval in just 49 days. Our firm, having ascertained that her case was of value, prepared a convincing petition and put it together with the necessary documents. This included the client’s CV, her academic and professional certificates, transcripts, and letters of recommendation. We had asked her to get at least 4 separate letters of support, 2 of which came each from dependent and independent sources. These helped immensely in proving the value of her research to the adjudicating bench at USCIS.

Here are a few excerpts from these letters of recommendation:

“[The client’s] prior research on biofilms has helped to demystify their formation and even aid in prevention by determining which chemical structural elements expressly and effectively inhibited cellular aggregation and swarming motility, exposing bacteria to antibiotic action and improving health for countless American patients.”

“[The client] has achieved major advances with her modernization and optimization of in vitro assays and other methods that have streamlined TB drug discovery, revealing new compounds for others in the field to study. This is an ongoing and worthwhile effort producing results that the United States will benefit greatly from through continued scientific advances and economic savings.”

Case Summary:

We at North America Immigration Law Group, before moving forward with any case, take utmost care in conducting a complete background check of every client who approaches us for helping them with their immigration petition to USCIS. So, when an attending hematologist and oncologist in the field of medical oncology approached us, we made certain that he received the best legal services for his I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) and as well as EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition.

  • We delivered his exceptional professional background and unique experience important to his current and future work at the USCIS.

After reviewing his credentials, we found that our client has accumulated a splendid record of success:

  • He received his MBBS from India.
  • His research has resulted in 4 peer-reviewed scientific articles.
  • His publications have been cited a total of 78 times in at least 16 countries according to Google Scholar.
  • He has conducted at least 15 reviews for at least 3 journals.
  • All the above factors thereby signify that his record of publications and citations are widely acknowledged and counted upon in the field of his expertise.

Additionally, our client’s novel lymphoma and cancer treatments research addresses some of our nation’s and the world’s most pressing issues, including HIV-related lymphoma and breast cancer. His strong background in hematology and medical oncology has allowed his research to be particularly original, resulting in his success in fundamentally transforming novel lymphoma and cancer treatments research. He is particularly well-known for his contributions to new antibody approaches to lymphoma therapy.

  • Our client’s work has thus been majorly significant, and his achievements are of the utmost importance due to their direct applicability in global efforts to address the global health burdens associated with cancer and lymphoma.

Additionally, he has served as the principal investigator for the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project trial consortium.

  • Thus, based on the originality, practicality, and importance of our client’s research endeavors, his achievements in the academic field of research have secured his reputation as an exceptional professor in the international community of medical oncology.

Leading researchers from top universities and research groups from the United States and abroad have submitted letters confirming him as an outstanding professor in his specialized field.

  • Two out of five of his recommenders have the following to say about him:

“Finally, in addition to its scholarly merit, [client’s] research is also highly beneficial to the United States…Since over 1 million Americans are living with HIV today, it can be estimated that at least 100,000 Americans suffer from HIV-related lymphoma…As these populations already receive relatively less care in the American healthcare system, there is a critical need for addressing our current lack of knowledge regarding the optimal means of preventing and treating AIDS-related lymphoma. [Client] addresses this need in his research, and his work thus directly aligns with the public health interests of the United States.”

“[Client’s] research stands at the forefront of the field of medical oncology, particularly in his research into enhanced therapies for the prevention of breast cancer…Through his innovative research on the novel use of phytochemicals to prevent breast cancer, [client] has worked to directly address this imperative. The ultimate value of his research on this topic is thus wholly incalculable.”

We are certain that he is more than capable of furthering his knowledge base in the chosen field and continuing his work in the United States of America.

  • The best news is that he not only received his NIW and EB1-A approvals with the help of our firm’s continuous guidance, he even received his 1-485 application approved very recently.

We thus wish him the very best in his life and success in all the endeavors that he takes up soon.

Client’s Testimonial:

“I am very happy with the group. I literally followed what the attorneys suggested. My research is in one of the most specialized fields however I had to make very little to almost no changes in the final petition draft. I was surprised to find how well the group had drafted the technical parts/importance of my research. In short, I blindly trusted the group, followed every suggestion, provided relevant documents: got approved in 3 days with premium processing. If I have to do the process all over again (lets say hypothetically), I would only consider NAILG.”


On September 30th, 2021 and March 22nd, 2022, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) and EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Field of Physics (Approval Notice).


General Field: Physics

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Associate

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Tennessee

Approval Notice Date: September 30th, 2021 (EB-1A) and March 22nd, 2022 (NIW)

Case Summary:

“In focusing on classical and quantum theories of gravity, [client’s] research focuses on understanding the origins and development of the universe. Simultaneously, these insights are critical to the theoretical development of quantum computation, which rely upon superposition and entanglement to provide faster processing and can perform tasks that classical computers are unable to complete. [client’s] research is thus of great import for the United States.”

“These findings have introduced unique methods for measuring neutron star properties which has immense importance in the strong-field tests of general relativity in the context of gravitational waves. As such, [client’s] research is vital for current and future physics investigations in the United States.”

These are the two passages extracted out of the four letters of support furnished by our client that he was able to obtain from experts in his field of physics.

  • Our client hails from India and holds a Ph.D. degree in physics.
  • Employed as a postdoctoral research associate, he has built a daunting reputation over years.

So when he approached us to help him with his EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) and NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition approvals, we moved ahead to countersign the retainer agreement after the initial step of the background check was completed.

The second step was to lead experts to accumulate together a strong case in his favor. So, we researched through his academic and professional details along with his proposed endeavor.

  • His strong background in quantum gravity, theoretical physics, astrophysics, mathematical modeling, data analysis, and computational programming has allowed his research to be particularly original, resulting in his success in fundamentally transforming quantum gravity, quantum cosmology, and gravitational waves research, and well as improving the use of advanced physics techniques to examine complex, interdisciplinary questions.
  • He has made original contributions of major significance to the field of physics, including but not limited to significantly expanding the fundamental knowledge of quantum gravity, the generalized uncertainty principle, and gravitational waves.
  • His quantum gravity, quantum cosmology, and gravitational wave research address some of our nation’s and the world’s most pressing issues, including achieving an enhanced understanding of the beginnings of the universe.

Furthermore, he has completed:

  • At least 17 reviews to date for at least 4 journals which are highly discerning journals with very stringent publishing guidelines that enlist the services of only the most accomplished researchers.
  • Served as a guest editor for 1 journal.
  • His research has resulted in 25 peer-reviewed scientific articles and alongside which these publications have been cited a total of 735 times in at least 51 countries according to Google Scholar.
  • At the same time, our client’s study has also been covered by major media, namely Scientific American (among the leading popular science sources in the world), highlighting his research on a proposed model of quantum gravity and a critical step towards understanding quantum gravity, and indirectly, the origins of the universe.

As public interest in this topic is especially high, the coverage of his work indicates both the exceptional quality of his research as well as the importance of his work in addressing scientific challenges of immense interest.

All of the above-mentioned information was enough to convince the adjudicating authorities of the value that our client added to the United States soil, leading his case to a certain victory. He not only received his EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) in only 30 days (thanks to premium processing) but even received his NIW approval in the next few months.

Case Summary:

With a Ph.D. in physics, our EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) client from China was a postdoctoral fellow (now a research scientist with permanent position) working on the impact of geomagnetic activity and lower atmospheric forcing on thermosphere and ionosphere in the field of space physics. He is especially well-known for hiscontribution in the ionosphere eqautorial ionization anomaly and the thermosphere composition response to geomagnetic disturbance. It was for this reason that when he came to us in October 2021, our team could easily put together the required documents and information for his EB1-A petition to USCIS. The adjudicating authorities are clear on the requirements for the category, which include an indication of the extraordinary ability the petitioner claims to have and the positive impact of their ability on the United States. This was proved by including the following documents in the petition packet:

  • Updated CVs
  • Transcripts of academic degrees
  • Certificates from academic institutions and professional career
  • Letters of Recommendation from experts in the area
  • Proof of his extraordinary ability and dedication to continue working in his area of expertise
  • Evidence of his primary funding sources

Along with these documents other relevant information such as:

  • Details of publication history- He had already published 20 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals of repute.
  • Details of his citation count: His works have been cited 269 times in 20 countries around the world in all.
  • Details of peer review experience: He has conducted a total of 60 peer reviews for other authors in his area of expertise.
  • Details of the news report carried by NASA on his publications

Thus one of the experts said the following about his work:

“Overall, the advancements that [the client] has driven within the space physics field are nothing short of extraordinary. Because of this, I suggest with no doubt in my mind that he remains in the United States and continue to advance the American space physics research community.”

We thus congratulate him on his case approval and thank him for his continued trust in us, which could help him get an NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval as well.

On September 22nd, 2021, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Entomology (Approval Notice).


General Field: Entomology

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: North Carolina

Approval Notice Date: September 22nd, 2021

Processing Time: 5 months, 13 days (Premium Processing Requested)


Case Summary:

In April of 2021, a postdoctoral fellow in the field of entomology met us asking for help on his EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) case. So, once we had assured him that we would do everything in our power to make this journey a smooth one for him, we moved to make a well-grounded background study and then began with the attorney-client formalities.

  • Our team of experts took over the case preparation and used all the information that we had on his academic and professional background. This meant using this data in his petition to build a strong case in his favor.

The personalized petition included his citation records, peer reviews, and publication count. The details of the same are mentioned below:

  • He has conducted at least 30 reviews for at least 4 prestigious journals.
  • His work has resulted in 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in the top-ranked journals of his field of endeavor.
  • His research has been cited 370 times in at least 34 countries according to Google Scholar.
  • He also served as a guest associate editor for the special research section in 1 journal.

Furthermore, he received his Ph.D. in biological science (chemical ecology) and his pest control and management research addresses some of our nation’s and the world’s most pressing issues, including mitigating pest-related agricultural losses and limiting pest-related disease transmission. His strong background in pest control and management has allowed his research to be particularly original, resulting in his success in fundamentally transforming pest control approaches.

  • Our client is particularly well-known for his contributions to evaluating the behavioral, chemical, and neurophysiology of the agricultural, urban and medically important pests to develop improved pest management strategies.

His work has thus been majorly significant, and his achievements are of the utmost importance due to their direct applicability in global efforts to address controlling urban, agricultural, and medically significant pest species.

Furthermore, leading researchers from top universities and research groups from the United States and abroad have submitted letters confirming him as an outstanding professor in his specialized field.

  • Two out of five of his recommenders have the following to say about the client:

“As one of the leading members of his field, [client] has contributed greatly to our knowledge of insect behaviors and how to use this information to combat harmful pests. His research, which has been featured in some of the most influential journals for entomology, constitutes a major contribution to the scientific community. It is with this in mind that I lend [client] my recommendation.”

“[Client] is one of the most influential and well-known researchers in the entomology field, and his research has considerable applications in controlling and eliminating the harmful effects of pests around the world. His knowledge of the underlying chemical processes in insect behavior sets him apart from others and allows him to consistently produce novel findings. Therefore, he ought to be given the opportunity to continue his research in the United States.”

We are certain that he is more than capable of furthering his knowledge base in the chosen field and continuing his work in the United States of America. Thanks to premium processing, he received his EB1-A approval in a shorter duration of time.

  • The best news is that he retained us for his I-485 application as well and the case has been approved afterwards.

We thus wish him the very best in his life and success in all the endeavors that he takes up soon.
