Case Summary:

Equipped with a Ph.D. in biology, genetics, and ecology of aquatic animals, a researcher from China hired us to help him file an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition representing his case. Our proficient team began evaluating his credentials, and after a thorough evaluation, we asserted that he is a highly qualified advanced degree scientist with extensive experience, unique and expansive expertise that has enabled him to contribute significantly to the field of aquaculture, extending the reasonable expectation that he will continue to do so within the United States. Hence, we verified the provided information to be true and detailed our client’s accomplishments in his petition packet. Here are the following attributes:

1. Research Review: We explained his research on developing genetic tools and selective breeding techniques to improve oyster aquaculture, as well as his studies on population structure and demography of commercially important fish, including Pacific herring and Pacific cod, in order to improve strategies for fishery exploitation and resource conservation. We concluded that his research does address some of our nation’s most pressing issues, including methods for improving the value of the aquaculture industry while protecting marine environments.

2. Citation Count, Publication & Peer-Review Experience: We recorded the 300 times his publications have been cited by well-known researchers in at least 61 countries. Not only has he successfully completed and published the results of his research in the field, but his work has also majorly influenced his peers. Besides, we noted the 26 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 books, and 7 patents he published in some of the extremely selective journals with a rigorous peer-review process in his field. Further to prove his outstanding position in the scientific community, we discussed the impressive record of 50 times he conducted reviews of his peers for highly acclaimed journals.

3. Letters of Recommendation: We incorporated six recommendation letters acquired by our client from his fellow experts in the field, one of whom stated the below-mentioned:

“[Client’s] is well-regarded by his peers as a leading expert on fishery and aquaculture genetics. His research is critical to the sustainable development of fishery and aquaculture industries of the United States.”

USCIS adjudicated our client’s case in just 14 days after our client requested Premium Processing service. Our client was finally granted the EB-1A approval and we thank him for choosing North America Immigration Law Group to represent his I-140 EB1A petition. We would also like to wish him well in all his future endeavors.
