Case Summary:
When our client, a director of client services from India contacted us to help her file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition to represent her case, we began analyzing her credentials and discerned that she held a Ph.D. in food science and many years of substantial experience researching the same field. We were certain of her noteworthy knowledge in the field and that she deserved the national interest waiver. To lead her to the NIW success, we needed to build a powerful case on her behalf. Gladly, she received her NIW approval exactly 7 months and 2 days after we filed the petition.
After the NIW success, our client retained the services of North America Immigration Law Group for another petition filing under the O1A (Individuals with Extraordinary Ability or Achievement) visa category. With over 17,000 approved cases, we have unprecedented insight in articulating more than one petition for our clients. It is not surprising to file more than one petition as petitioners do so to get closer to green card success. In this case, we were sure of her O1A success, thus, we advised her to send the required details for the O1A case preparation. Once we compiled all the relevant information, we customized her I-129 O1A petition and detailed the following in her petition presentation:
1) We reviewed her research focusing on analyzing consumer behaviors and responses to develop advanced consumer behavior prediction techniques, and how it addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding product development and innovation in the food industry. This work has had an enormous impact on the United States food industry and the agricultural sector; thus, her work has been majorly significant and of the utmost importance due to the advanced information, it provides for other experts in the field.
2) We also noted her significant publication framework, the 13 peer-reviewed journal articles which altogether garnered 240 citations from prestigious national and international institutions, signifying that her work has a great influence on other scholars in the field of food science. Additionally, we recorded that she has already conducted 18 reviews for the most distinguishing journals, and only because of her extraordinary expertise in the field, she has been regularly invited to conduct peer reviews.
3) We highlighted how she has been offered employment in a notable organization where she seeks to continue her employment in the field of food science. Moreover, we added four written advisory opinions to support her case further. Our client obtained these letters from other leading researchers from top universities and research groups from the United States and abroad confirming her as a researcher of extraordinary ability in her specialized field.
“The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation promotes food labeling as a useful tool for protecting consumer health through food safety and nutrition… [Client] is an individual who conducts cutting-edge research in the food science field on predicting and understanding how consumers interact with food labels. Her research is crucial to improving the overall quality and effectiveness of food labels, thereby providing tangible benefits to global food industries, particularly at a time when consumer reliance on food labels is constantly increasing.”
Therefore, we were able to convince USCIS that our client is a top-notch scholar in food science research and she must be fully supported as it is crucial that she be allowed to continue working in the United States. Thanks to the premium processing upgrade, our client received her O1A approval in just 14 days. We are truly happy to help our client attain both the petition approvals 2 months apart. We thank her for choosing us for her I-140 and I-129 application and allowing us to be part of this success story.
