Case Summary:

A life science research professional with an MS in biomedical engineering engaged our expert services to help her present a comprehensive EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition to the USCIS. When she approached us, as per our job we started evaluating her qualification and research in the field of biomedical science focusing on COVID-19 immunology. Our goal was to deduce that our client’s research addressed some of the world’s most pressing issues, including the treatment of cancer, HIV/AIDS, and COVID-19.

Therefore, we started compiling all the required details to be supplemented in her petition packet, beginning with noting the 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles she published in some of the top-ranked journals in the field, gathering 619 citations from recognized researchers from renowned institutions and organizations around the world. Her work has been cited by researchers in at least 40 countries, thereby confirming that these publications are well-acknowledged and highly relied upon in the biomedical science field. We also specified that our client judged the work of her peers 15 times for some of the recognized journals, supporting the testimony of her actual participation in the scientific community. Furthermore, her study has received funding grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and Biogen. This funding supports the projects that are beneficial to science and society and to the pursuit of improving public health in particular. Therefore, her research is highly relevant in improving healthcare and public health.

Before sending out the package to USCIS, we needed to add a few recommendation letters. So, we advised her to reach out to her peers for the same. Luckily, four other individuals and leading researchers were obliged to sign the letters, indicating that our client’s work has great power for the progression of research in biomedical science and has implications for fighting the harms of viral infections for public health around the world. According to one of the recommenders:

“Overall, considering her remarkable background and noteworthy history of contributions, [client] is operating at the very top of the field of biomedical science and is positioned to continue her work in propelling the field. It is in the best interests of the field and the United States that her work is sustained.”

Eventually, our team’s efforts and support to her paid off, since we were once again able to prove to the USCIS how our client’s continuing research is of inestimable value to the United States. We thank our client for choosing our law firm and opting for premium processing service, which is a paid option offered by the USCIS that allows petitioners to enjoy accelerated adjudication. Thus, her EB-1A case got approval in just 10 days. We gladly wish her well in her future endeavors.
