Case Summary:
North America Immigration Law Group recently had the pleasure of working with a senior scientist from China who wanted us to file an EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) petition on her behalf. Our client’s employer, a university spin-out company, served as her petitioner.
Our client has a Master of Science in Analytical Chemistry and a Doctor of Philosophy in Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery. She decided to file her EB-1B petition under Premium Processing and received an approval from the USCIS just 18 days after we filed her case.
In our well-thought-out petition packet, we included various aspects of her professional portfolio: the 44 citations of her work, her 9 published papers, and the 36 times that she conducted peer reviews for nine scientific journals. Our EB-1B petition also included a summary of our client’s research on improving the targeted delivery of drugs and developing improved imaging contrast agents for cancer detection. North America Immigration Law Group demonstrated that our client’s research not only saves lives, but also advances the United States’ medical and pharmaceutical industries.
To strengthen our client’s case, we helped her request recommendation letters from expert pharmaceutical chemists. We included these letters in the petition packet. One expert wrote, “[Client’s] documented discoveries are highly significant to the analytical and pharmaceutical chemistry communities, as her research is fundamental for developing improved extraction processes of molecules that are crucial to treatments of widespread diseases as chronic bronchitis, sexually transmitted infections, and cancerous mutations.”
The approval of this I-140 is another example of our firm’s dedication to helping our clients obtain their green cards.
