Success Story: EB1A Approval in 8 Days after RFE for Astrophysics Postdoc Researcher


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.


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

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.

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 December 14th, 2012, just 8 days after its filing.

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!
