Case Summary:

Not long ago, North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) submitted an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on behalf of a senior scientific engineering associate from China. Our client, who has two Master’s degrees, researches optimal levels of energy efficiency and demand response in buildings. His findings aid other researchers in understanding how peak electric demand in buildings are controlled. Our legal team meticulously put together a petition packet that demonstrated the value of our client’s work not just to his field of building science, but to the United States.
In our petition packet, we included data on our client’s research projects, his publications (7 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 8 conference papers, and 3 book chapters), peer review experience, and his 209 citations at the time of filing. As part of our organized approach to an effective I-140 petition, we also included recommendation letters contributed by several experts in our client’s field. One of these recommenders wrote, “Based on his groundbreaking research work, [Client] is among a very small percentage of scientists making tremendous contributions to the field today and I am confident that he will continue to make significant contributions to energy efficiency and demand response research. I therefore give my strongest support for his immigrant petition.”  
Thanks to Premium Processing, this EB-1A case was adjudicated in 17 days. We congratulate our client on his approval notice and wish him well.
