Case Summary:

In this case, a sensor development scientist from China needed North America Immigration Law Group’s help to obtain green cards for herself and her husband. Our client’s impressive educational and professional background made her a suitable candidate to file her case under the EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) visa category.
The EB-1A petition our law firm prepared for our client contained meticulous descriptions of her research in the field of chemical engineering, her extensive experience serving as a judge of others in her field, and her citation and publication record, which at the time of filing, stood at 274 and 20 respectively. All of this was supplemented by several testimonials provided by expert chemical engineers, one of whom wrote, “I will state without uncertainty that [Client] is a premier chemical engineer who is contributing research in fields of the utmost relevance for national health and economic performance in the United States. The continued presence of her research is essential to fighting diabetes in the United States, and I look forward to following her persistent impact on the disease.”
A little over five months after we filed our client’s EB-1A petition, she opted to upgrade her case to Premium Processing. The accelerated timeline led to an approval notice less than 2 weeks later. We are pleased that our strong presentation convinced the USCIS that our client’s research is of value to the United States, and that she deserves to get one step closer to her green card. We wish her the best in her final step towards permanent residency.
