Client’s Testimonials:

Ms. Chen and her team were beyond professional, thorough, knowledgeable, prompt and courteous. When we received an RFE they recommenced working on my case with the same determination and patience until we finally obtained the approval. I can’t thank [Chen Immigration] enough for making this arduous endeavor as easy as could be, for supporting me through it all, and I certainly wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is embarking on this very sensitive and life-changing endeavor.

On August 12th, 2013 we received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for an Author in the field of Genre Writing (Approval Notice)

General Field: Genre Writing
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Author
National Origin: Egypt
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State Residing at the Time of Filing: Florida
Approval Notice Date: August 12, 2013
Processing Time: 14 weeks, 7 days after Responding to RFE (Premium Processing Service requested)

Case Summary:

The client in this case was an author in the field of genre writing. Her work had resulted in 30 published books in the United States, which had been translated into nearly thirty languages and distributed internationally as well. She had received 7 lesser internationally and nationally-recognized awards for her contributions to the field of endeavor and was a member of two prestigious professional organizations or associations, which demand outstanding achievements of their members. She had clearly made significant contributions to her field and had been ranked in the top 8% of earners in her field. Of her accomplishments, one of her independent recommenders remarked, “[Client’s] books have had substantial success in many countries including the US, UK, Australia, France, Italy, Holland, Brazil, Turkey, and Japan. It is very rare for an author’s work to be translated and have such consistent success in multiple languages, and therefore [client’s] international accomplishments are extremely impressive.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Genre Writing, and that her continued work would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 14 weeks.
