Sample Cases from our office

Skip to main content

These are some sample cases from our files. It is impossible for us to highlight all we have done in the past thirty years of our practice. These are just some of the cases that come to mind.

Type of case: O-1 for Pharmaceuticals Scientist

Category: O-1 Visa, Scientists and Researchers, Researcher, Pharmacists, Microbiologists, Chemists, Basic Medical Sciences

We have received an approval for an O-1 for a pharmaceuticals scientist employed by a small company.  The case was approved without an RFE where we clearly showed the advanced nature of the work and the qualifications of the beneficiary.  The outcome of O-1 visa petitions is always unpredictable, and, as a practical matter, more so where the employer is a very small company.  Despite its size, the company was engaged in highly specialized and advanced level work.  In addition to the beneficiary’s qualifications, the nature of the work was probably decisive in tipping the balance in our favor.

O-1 approved

Type of case: EB1 - Outstanding Researcher

Category: EB-1B Outstanding Researcher, Professor, EB1 Green Card, Scientists and Researchers, Basic Medical Sciences

We won this case by submitting evidence of this applicant's substantial publication record as well as numerous recommendation letters which outlined the innovative work performed by the applicant.  In addition, referees described the applicant as "one of the best in the field" for his significant discoveries in the biological chemistry industry.  The applicant was employed with a very prestigious research institute which only hires the top scientists in the world.
