Success Stories: EB-1A Petition Approved for Scientist from China in the Field of Materials Engineering


Client’s Testimonial:
“Thanks [for sharing] the great news with me! I appreciate all your help during my case preparation.”

On February 18th, 2016, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Scientist in the Field of Materials Engineering (Approval Notice).

 
 
 
 
General Field: Materials Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Scientist
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Connecticut
Approval Notice Date: February 18th, 2016

Case Summary:

In this EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) case, a scientist from China employed North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an I-140 petition (first step in green card matters) on her behalf. As our client elected to file her case under Premium Processing, the adjudication timeline was significantly reduced, and her case was approved merely 13 days after we filed the case.
Our client’s voluminous experience in the field of materials engineering led her to publish at least 14 peer-reviewed journal articles, 20 peer-reviewed conference papers, and numerous conference presentations. These publications resulted in over 230 citations— a testament to the value of her work to other researchers in her field. We also detailed the 41 times she conducted peer reviews for high impact journals. Besides information on her professional achievements, we also incorporated recommendation letters contributed by experts in her field of materials engineering in our highly detailed EB-1A petition packet.
We are glad that our client has completed the first step in the green card process, and we wish her all the best with the final step towards permanent residency: the I-485 application.
