Case Summary:

Our client, a principal research associate with an M.S. degree in vaccine development and pharmaceutical approaches, and researching the field of molecular biology approached North America Immigration Law Group to help her in building an influencing EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition to move a major step closer to green card success. Since EB-1A is one of the toughest I-140 visa categories, we made sure of adding only the relevant details of our client’s accomplishments in her petition packet. Just 10 days after we filed the petition on her behalf, the USCIS permitted the case approval.

While preparing her case, we aimed at outlining her proposed research focusing on vaccine programs that facilitate and improve vaccine development for an array of diseases. After a thorough review, we concluded that her research addresses some of our nation’s and the world’s most pressing issues, including the exorbitant costs of treating HIV and the extensive losses incurred by ovarian cancer-related deaths. Therefore, her continued support in the United States is critical to the overall success of the clinical, pharmaceutical, and public health industries in the United States.

Her petition packet also consisted of the 8 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles and 2 conference abstracts she published in some of the most perceptive journals in the field, and we highlighted her work which has been cited by many researchers in the field, resulting in 1,500 citations from 55 countries, signifying her bright reputation that has sparked trust in her work nationally and internationally in the field.

Moreover, she had conducted 15 peer reviews for highly acclaimed journals and conferences, confirming her active participation as a critic in the scientific community in the molecular biology field.

We included four letters of recommendation that she got signed by other well-known researchers in the field to corroborate her built case further. One of her recommenders stated:

“These are remarkable achievements that noticeably advance the cause of preventing and eventually curing HIV. [Client’s] research thus directly contributes to improving health care outcomes in the United States by pioneering new treatments for this deadly disease. Her innovative and original contributions distinguish her as one of the top scientists in her area of research.”

After compiling all the required information in her petition packet, we submitted it to the USCIS, establishing that our client qualifies as an alien of extraordinary ability and she deserves to continue her work in the United States. Thanks to premium processing, she achieved her EB-1A petition approval in just 10 days. We truly thank our client for choosing us for representing her EB-1A application and congratulate her on this achievement.
