Case Summary:

Texas Service Center (TSC) found our client, an Indian senior scientist, to be a deserving candidate for EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability). The fact that her work aids the United States in understanding how to use state-of-the-art theoretical models to shed light on complex cellular and molecular processes that are difficult to prove experimentally, 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 her veracity. Once we were assured that her credentials qualified her for EB-1A, we counter-signed the retainer agreement and got to work building her 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 her research focus. Largely thanks to the comprehensive research summary which she provided us, we determined that her work is focused on the development of sophisticated mathematical models that characterize the mechanisms of cellular mechanosensing and wound healing, as well as to aid in pharmaceutical drug discovery and development.
• Citation Count and Publication: Our client’s extensive experience in the field of mechanistic modeling had led to the publication of 7 peer-reviewed scientific articles, all of which had been cited a total of 353 times when we filed the case.
• Peer Review Service: To further illustrate our client’s leadership role in the field, we noted the 13 times she 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 her peers. These letters confirmed the value of our client’s work to the US and contained statements such as: “There is an imperative economic need for [client’s] work, as her project directly explores the mechanics of these wounds, leading to better and more cost- effective treatment plans for anyone who suffers from them. Furthermore, not only is endorsing her research an intelligent economic decision, it reduces a large amount of suffering in the general American populace.”

Her case was approved by the USCIS in 7 months and 27 days, we congratulate our client for securing an EB-1A petition approval. We thank her for choosing to work with our law firm. It was a pleasure helping her with the first step of the green card process and we thank her for trusting us for her EB-1A case.
