Case Summary:
Not long ago, a talented research scientist from India hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him navigate the complex green card process. Our client’s Ph.D. in Materials Science, 177 citations to his 13 publications (12 scientific articles and 1 book chapter), and extensive experience assessing the work of other materials scientists, made him a suitable candidate to file his case under the EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) visa category.
As part of our case strategy, we highlighted our client’s unique research portfolio, including his specialty in the formulation, characterization, and application of nanomaterials synthesized using plasma-based procedures. We also advised our client to contact other influential experts in his field for recommendation letters. He obtained six letters which we included in our carefully prepared EB-1A petition dossier. All the letters attested to the relevance of our client’s research to the United States, one of which specified: “It is important that the United States understand how important and vital an asset [Client] is for its research sector, as his continued work in the materials science field is absolutely crucial to the country’s future as a global academic and industrial leader.”
A little over two weeks after we filed his EB-1A petition, our client decided to upgrade his case to Premium Processing (an option that is only available for EB1 cases). He received an approval notice from the USCIS two weeks later. We are currently helping our client and his wife file their I-485 applications, and we wish them the best with the final leg of their green card journey.
