Client’s Testimonial:

“That is certainly an excellent news. Thank you very much for all the hard work and attention to this matter. I really appreciate it.”

On August 22^nd, 2019, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Senior Scientist in the field of Medical Science (Approval Notice).

General Field: Medical Science

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Scientist

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Arizona

Approval Notice Date: August 22^nd, 2019

Processing Time: 8 months, 5 days

Case Summary:

Described by a prominent professor as an “esteemed and respected individual in the field”, our client, a senior scientist from India, has worked tirelessly in medical science for many years. His diligent efforts have resulted in significant contributions to the field, particularly focusing on conducting research to benefit the development of more effective therapies for virus induced cancers. One recent area in which he has specialized includes his use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) methodologies to track cancer mutations, aid in biomarker discovery, and track rare variants of different viruses. Our client’s work has various societal benefits and in fact, the applications of these methodologies are effectively endless in a variety of areas such as personalized medicine and tailored drug therapies.

When he first contacted North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to assist him with I-140 petition, our team immediately set out to assess his academic and professional credentials. At the time we filed his case, the 11 peerreviewed scientific articles he has published have been cited 411 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, which indicates the major significance of his work. In addition, our client has also impacted the scientific community by conducting 44 peer reviews. His service to these publications has been invaluable, as it demonstrates that his expertise and judgment are widely respected throughout the field. All the information we gathered was used to persuade the USCIS that our client’s work is extremely important to the United States, and we tailor-made the EB-1A petition to demonstrate that our client’s research is particularly original.

Additionally, we customized our client’s petition letter with charts and graphs to highlight his major contributions. The visualization of data clearly distinguishes him from other researchers in the endeavor, as many of his works have been among the most-cited in the field over the years. We also included 6 recommendation letters contributed by other influential experts, one of whom noted: “With [Client]’s ongoing focus on afflictions like cancer and Hepatitis B, his discovery of additional knowledge that aids medical researchers and practitioners is all but guaranteed – since past and present results are a strong indicator of future success.”

Although we presented a strong case to the USCIS, our client’s EB-1A petition was issued a Request for Evidence (RFE). Our team strategized and put together a solid response to the RFE, which ultimately led to case approval. We are pleased that we managed to convince the USCIS that our client is an extraordinary researcher whose work is widely applied in the area of medical science. We congratulate him on the approved EB-1A petition, and thank him for choosing us to represent his case.

Approval Notice Date: August 15^th, 2018

Processing Time: 8 months, 3 days

Case Summary:

A Vietnamese postdoctoral research fellow based in New Jersey who is working in the field of biomedical science hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him obtain EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval. Despite his impressive research background and various accomplishments in the field, he needed our expertise to present a customized EB-2 NIW case to the USCIS, and prove to them that his research on the mechanisms of and treatments for major respiratory and circulatory conditions is critical to the United States. His major findings benefit as many as ten millions Americans suffering from related diseases such as lymphoedema, pulmonary edema, and other illnesses caused by fluid imbalance.

We put together our client’s NIW petition by presenting evidence to support the argument that he is an exceptional researcher in the field of biomedical science. In the petition dossier, we informed the USCIS that our client’s 3 publications were cited 17 times. Furthermore, we concluded that his work is significantly beneficial because it provides us with viable alternatives to pursue techniques for working around the issues of alleviating acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS. Six letters of recommendation were also included to accredit his contributions to the field. One of the recommenders noted: “Because of [Client]’s findings, scientists are now able to move ahead in the creation of treatments for ARDS […]. Therefore, I can confidently state that [Client] has profoundly impacted biomedical research.”

As we have successfully petitioned over 10,000 I-140 cases, we have unprecedented insight into what the USCIS is looking for when adjudicating petitions. This allowed us to confidently respond to the Request for Evidence (RFE) our client’s NIW petition received, and this persuaded the USCIS that our client truly is an asset to the US. We congratulate our client for overcoming this significant challenge in the green card process, and we thank him for retaining our I-485 services to help him adjust his status for permanent residence.

Success Story: EB-2 NIW approval for a postdoc researcher in wireless communication

wegreened — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 17:47:59 +0000

Recently, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates received another EB2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Postdoc researcher specializing in wireless communication. Approval Notice)

General Field: wireless communication
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Associate
National Origin: Bangladesh
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State Residing at the Time of Filing: Texas

Case Summary:

This case was originally filed by another law firm and the client approached us after an RFE (Request for more Evidence) was issued. We evaluated the case and determined that we were able to have the case approved responding to the RFE.

This client possessed a unique background that made his abilities within the field of wireless communication and networking invaluable. While many scientists focus their studies on one area of science, our client had pursued a level of expert understanding in both wireless communication and networking and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). This multi-disciplinary expertise is important in advancing the understanding and infrastructure surrounding wireless communication in the transportation industries and was something we emphasized as a major arguing point in this RFE response.

When a client approaches us to evaluate their NIW request, we first analyze the case to see which parts of the petition are weakest and which prong(s) of NYSDOT might be or has/have been challenged. Thereafter, we assess these parts and then ameliorate the petition by adding supplemental evidence. In this case we were tasked with improving the quality of evidence specifically in that the national interest would be adversely affected if a labor certification were required. We did this by drafting recommendation letters from internationally respected professionals that work both in and outside this client’s field of research. Within these letters we focused on building the case that even though our client’s citation number was relatively low there was significant evidence that our client’s research had a significant influence on many leading researcher’s own work. Specifically, many researchers had this to say about our client: “Dr. X has a proven record of success in working with the highly complex algorithms involved in the creation and advancement of new types of wireless networks and their applications. His work is being widely implemented across the field and holds potential for improving urban transport and shipping across the United States, making the continuation of his studies a hugely valuable economic and technological opportunity of the country.”

In addition to obtaining quality recommendation letters we also ameliorated this petition’s section regarding the request of more evidence of the original scientific contributions of major significance in the field of this client. We improved this section by highlighting this client’s extensive peer-review work for scholarly journals in the field. Such review work demonstrates that the petitioner has been selected from their peers as a top level expert, capable of commenting on the accuracy and importance of others’ work.

Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on March 15, 2013.

With this in consideration, it is important to emphasize that the processes and expertise practiced by Chen Immigration Law Associates. Not only do we develop the best possible strategies for each case, but we execute these strategies with the utmost effectiveness!

wegreened — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 21:09:35 +0000

Client’s testimonial:

After consulting with a couple of attorneys, I decided to go with [Chen Immigration Team] for my EB2-NIW application. [Chen Immigration Team] worked with a great professionalism with me from the beginning to the end. They drafted letters within a week for me as promised in the attorney-client retainer agreement and never delayed anything throughout the whole process. We went back and forth a couple of times until both parties agreed. With [Chen Immigration Team], you will get everything done within 5 months. I am so glad I selected them as my attorney and It took only 5 months and 10 days to get my NIW petition approved from the date I signed the retainer agreement with them. Unless one of my recommendation/reference letters got delayed, it could have been only 4 months for the whole process.

On December 3rd, 2012, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Postdoc Researcher in the field of Virology and Immunology. Approval Notice)

General Field: Virology and Immunology
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher
National Origin: India
Service Center: Texas
Processing Time: 70 Days

Case Summary:

The typical processing time for an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition is 4 months. In order to facilitate the best possible chances for a swift approval in each case, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates are meticulous in our methods for gathering evidence. For this reason, we were able to secure approval for this petition in only 70 days, or 42% faster than typical cases.

In this specific case, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates worked directly with the client to procure the best possible evidence in order to establish support for each of the claimed criteria. First, we worked towards proving that this client was seeking employment in an area of substantial intrinsic merit. As this client had achieved several advanced degrees, specifically a Master of Science in Botany, and a Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology, we highlighted these accomplishments and dedication towards scholarly pursuits. Additionally, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates noted the published works associated with this client’s research. Specifically, we highlighted the number of peer-reviewed scientific articles this petitioner had written (10), and the exceptionally high impact these works have had on the scientific community gathering a citation record of at least 115 citations by prestigious institutions both nationally and internationally.

Secondly, we gathered evidence to support the proposed benefit of this client’s work and its overall national benefits. Dedicating time towards gathering support for the specific contributions this client has made to their field of endeavor, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates worked diligently with the client to secure eight recommendation letters from experts in numerous fields of interest. In order to provide the best possible associated evidence, we drafted these letters that were then reviewed, edited, and signed by each recommender providing significant testimony in reference to the proposed benefits of the client’s ongoing research.

Finally, we proved that the national interest would be adversely affected if a labor certification were required. As this is arguably the most daunting task associated with filing EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petitions, it is important that each case establishes evidence directly corresponding to their claimed criteria. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates believe in gathering evidence in such a manner that each criterion is so well supported that the adverse effects associated with an unfavorable ruling are insurmountable. With significance of evidence reinforced through the testimony of field experts, analytics of published impacts derived from top analytic software; and evidence of field contributions and their direct relation to the national interest, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates worked diligently to provide the best possible chance for a swift approval in this case.

Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work towards the national interest, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on December 3rd, 2012.

Success Story: EB1A (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for Cardiologist after RFE

wegreened — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:15:45 +0000

Recently we received another EB1a (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) from a Cardiologist after RFE (Request for Evidence). (Approval Notice)

General Field: Cardiovascular Medicine and Public Health
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Resident Assistant Professor
National Origin: India
Service Center: Nebraska
Processing Time: 89 Days

Case Summary:

In this specific case, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates assisted a client who had received a RFE (Request for Evidence) after his initial filing. Although receiving an RFE does not necessarily mean that a petition will be denied, it is important that all evidence is presented in the most comprehensive manner possible to ensure a timely approval.

As this petitioner was working as an Assistant Professor during the time of his original petition, but focused predominantly on research in the field of cardiovascular medicine and public heath, it was crucial that his influence on the public health sector be emphasized in order to meet the criteria outlined by this petition. Specifically, this client had spent a significant portion of research focusing on specific cardiovascular research and clinical/patient outcomes, which resulted in his influence on public health in the United States and worldwide through the FDA’s issue of a warning for the drug Celxa. It is through this work that the client impacted the field of cardiovascular medicine and public health as a whole, while simultaneously rising to the very top of his field of endeavor and enjoying substantial international acclaim.

In order to provide additional evidence supporting the merit of this client’s work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates outlined his achievements and qualifications through the drafting of eight recommendation letters on behalf of experts in numerous associated fields. These recommendation letters were submitted to be reviewed, edited, and signed, providing significant evidence of this client’s support for ongoing research in the United States, as well as, substantial testimony of his impact and contributions to the field of cardiovascular medicine and public health. Furthermore, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates documented the significant published works of this client and substantial citation record associated with these works, granting additional evidence of his exceptional and extraordinary ability associated with his field of endeavor.

With consideration of providing additional evidence for a swift approval of this petition, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates worked diligently to research AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) decisions that strengthened the credentials of this client, through the reference and comparison of appealed petitions granted to candidates with less impressive or substantial credentials.

Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for Postdoc Researcher after RFE

wegreened — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 23:23:12 +0000

On January 3rd, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval after RFE (Request for Evidence). (Approval Notice)

General Field: Agricultural Economics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher
National Origin: Israel
Service Center: Texas
Processing Time: 45 Days

Case Summary:

It is important to note, when filing any petition, the organization of evidentiary support must be completed with the utmost meticulousness. Over 40% of cases filed by Chen Immigration Law Associates are in response to RFEs (Request for Evidence) resulting from insufficient evidence or incorrect filing completed by other law firms or individuals themselves.

In this specific case, the legal services of Chen Immigration Law Associates were retained by a client who had unsuccessfully filed their EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on their own. After reviewing this client’s case, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates helped him gather additional evidence and organize this evidence in the most efficient way possible in order to secure a swift approval.

In order to gather the best possible evidence reinforcing the national interest associated with this clients ongoing research, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates submitted five additional testimonial letters from independent experts, testifying to the substantial influence and specific field implementation and utilization of this client’s original research analyses in the national and international field of endeavor. This research; as noted by independent testimony, would affect the fields of economics and agriculture as a whole, as well as the emerging field of renewable energy—both through scientific advancements and data analysis contributions.

In addition to this important testimony, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates reinforced the intrinsic merit and national benefits associated with this client’s ongoing research in the field of Agricultural Economics by highlighting how these contributions have influenced United States policymakers, and have directly impacted an array of independent studies where researchers have utilized this client’s models in the advancement of their own findings in the international community of agriculture and economics.

Finally, to promote the adverse effects if a labor certification were required, we reinforced how the client’s specific prior achievements justify the projected future benefits.
In this case, the client’s achievements and top-tier expertise prove he is destined to make significant contributions to his field of endeavor in the future. Furthermore, this client’s past accomplishments prove he is especially qualified to make substantial strides that are likely far greater than those of his peers. With this in mind, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates stressed that his outstanding level of productivity cannot be taken into consideration through a labor certification, and therefore required the granting of this EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver).

Using this unique strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work towards the national interest, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on January 3rd, 2013, just 45 days after its filing.

Success Story: EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for Postdoc Researcher after RFE

Client’s testimonial:

[Chen Immigration Team] is very trustful and professional for my NIW and (ad)justment of status overall. They can make a best approach for you to fit the needs you have. They were also very responsible and kind when I had some questions need to ask.

Recently, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates received another Approval for a EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) after RFE (Request for Evidence). (Approval Notice)

General Field: Endocrinology, Obesity, and Diabetes Research
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher
National Origin: China
Service Center: Texas
Processing Time: 42 Days

Case Summary:

It is important to denote that Chen Immigration Law Associates has an extremely high approval rating. In the year 2012, only one NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition we originally filed received a denial, (and we are currently appealing this decision). With this in consideration, this specific case was one of the rare few that received an RFE after its initial filing. In accordance with the organization, presentation, and citation of evidence, this case was completed with the utmost precision; however, the reviewing immigration officer believed that further evidence was required.

In order to meet these requirements, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates took special notice to what additional evidence was requested. As we had established significant evidence regarding the national scope of this client’s research and how the national interest would be adversely affected if a labor certification were required; we developed a strategy to reemphasize these important qualifications without restating the original information provided to the immigration officer.

Taking into consideration our previous strategy, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates highlighted this client’s achievement and qualifications as substantiated through his contributions to the specialized and imperative fields of endocrinology, obesity, and diabetes research. We drafted four additional recommendation letters to show the national interest of the client’s research, while highlighting specific contributions that the client made to the applicable fields.

In addition, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates referenced the impact factor of this client’s published works in reference to all other published works in associated fields. Considering this client had significant impact in numerous fields, we referenced both the client’s citations; associated impact factor, analytics gathered by top evaluation programs, and emphasized the proposed benefit of this research in the national scope.

Finally, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates researched applicable case rulings and AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) decisions that ruled in favor of clients with less impressive credentials and/or contributions, and referenced these cases to further establish this client’s qualifications.

Using this unique developed strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work towards the national interest, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition just 42 days after its filing.

Success Story: Approval for EB-1a (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) after RFE (Request for Evidence) in JUST 8 Days

Client’s Testimonial:

[Chen Immigration Team] helped me prepare my petition for U.S. permanent residency under the EB1-EA self petition category. I am very pleased with the way [Chen Immigration Team] prepared my case, and the quick responses to all my questions. Thus, I am happy to recommend [Chen Immigration Team].

On December 14th, 2012, we received another EB-1a (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) Approval after RFE (Request for Evidence) for a Postdoc Researcher in the field of Astrophysics. (Approval Notice)

General Field: Astrophysics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher
National Origin: India
Service Center: Texas
Processing Time: 8 Days

Case Summary:

While handling EB-1a (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) cases, it is crucial to present the evidence in an organized and cohesive manner. Although each case varies in strength, the incorrect presentation of evidentiary support frequently results in case denials or RFEs (Request for Evidence). It is important to highlight, over 40% of the business at Chen Immigration Law Associates is derived from cases that were unsuccessfully filed by other law firms or individually by clients.

In this specific case we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were approached to represent a client who had recently been presented with an RFE after filing with another law firm. Unfortunately the client’s previous legal representation had filed this client’s case without substantiating significant evidentiary support. Because this petition had been poorly organized with missing or insufficient evidence, this client needed to reply to a Request for Evidence Notification.

In order to assist this client to the best of our ability, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates worked to develop a unique strategy tailored specifically to this client’s petition. First, we gathered all the evidence originally filed by the previous law firm and pieced together the evidence incorrectly organized or substantiated. Next, we began to organize and gather evidence that was overlooked by the previous law firm.

To start, we highlighted the citations numbers of this client in relation to the average citation number of researchers in similar fields. Considering this client had an unusually high citation record, (194 citations) it was important to show the influence these contributions have had on his field of endeavor. With this in consideration, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates assisted in the drafting of four recommendation letters on behalf of experts in the field of Astrophysics to emphasize the contributions this client has made through his work. After these letters were reviewed, edited, and signed by these recommenders we used these letters to further establish evidence of international influence of this client’s work in the field of Astrophysics.

Beyond the presentation of this crucial evidence, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates researched AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) decisions applicable to this case and reinforced the AAO’s authority over the service centers, highlighting the significance surrounding the citation of associated cases as establishing legal precedence.

Finally, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates researched the analytics associated with top papers written by this client and showcased their immense influence and contributions through national and international citations.

They guided me along the way and helped me immensely by carefully drafting the letters and even answering the recommender’s questions.

EB1 Approval after RFE for Project Development Engineer with only 69 citations all from 1 paper. (Approval Notice)

General Field:Project Development Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing:Project Development Engineer
National Origin: India
Service Center: Nebraska
Processing Time: 51 Days

Case Summary:

In this specific case we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were presented with a unique challenge. This client had applied for an EB1a (Aliens of Extraordinary Ability) petition with only 69 citations all from 1 paper. In these specific cases it is imperative to provide evidence that the client’s work has had a significant impact on the field of endeavor; however, with only 69 citations from 1 paper, we had to tailor our strategies specifically to this client in order to establish the best possible case.

Considering this client had received an RFE (Request for Evidence) following his initial filing, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates provided extensive correspondence with the client in order to gather all the necessary information for this filing. As previously noted, although this client had made significant contributions to the field of Project Development Engineering, EB1a cases traditionally require a large number of citations in order to establish the influence of the client’s work. With consideration of this client’s relatively low citation record and this importance of this evidence in establishing a client’s influence within their field of endeavor, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates drafted 6 letters on behalf of independent experts in various fields to review, edit, and sign. In addition to these letters, we assisted the client with procuring 6 letters from his colleagues and used these letters to additionally affirm the unique and extraordinary skillset of the client.

To provide additional evidence for this RFE (Request for Evidence), we at Chen Immigration Law Associates researched the wages of colleagues in the field of Project Development Engineering to highlight how this client’s work was extremely valued, as they were in the top 90% for wages earned in their field.

Finally, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates researched and cited applicable AAO (Administration Appeals Office) decisions regarding independent expert testimony and its use in establishing original contributions of major significance to a field in replacement of high citation numbers.
