Case Summary:

At Chen Immigration Law Associates, we recently received an EB1B approval for a staff scientist in the field of computational neuroscience. The beneficiary’s outstanding ability, highly skilled background, and impressive record of achievement provided a strong case for his EB1B petition. His work mainly focused on neural network modeling, neuroinformatics, bioinformatics, pattern recognition, and machine learning. His research has resulted in at least 4 peer-reviewed scholarly articles published in leading journals in the field and 11 conference abstracts. Furthermore, this beneficiary had a total of 27 citations by researchers around the world for his publications before filing the petition. The petitioner in this case is a private company specializing in biotechnology research and has a proven track record of achievement in the academic and industrial area of endeavor. The beneficiary’s outstanding expertise is summarized in a quote by a fellow researcher, “His articles have been extremely well-received, as they break completely new ground in the understanding of brain structure. As such, one of his articles in Neuroscience was used as the cover story, and his work has garnered at least 23 citations, reflecting direct implementation of his published work by other neuroscientists.” It was our goal to prove that this beneficiary qualified for classification as an Outstanding Professor or Researcher given the international recognition for his outstanding achievements. With the petition letter and recommendation letters we prepared, his EB1B case was approved in just one day.
