Case Summary:

Here at Chen Immigration Law Associates, we recently received another EB1A approval for a postdoctoral research associate client working in the field of Materials Engineering and Triobology. Our client's work specializes in energy conservation through materials science, mechanical engineering and manufacturing, and bioengineering. His work has resulted in at least 43 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 33 of which he was the first author, published in leading journals. In addition, our client’s publications have been cited at least 319 times by leading and independent researchers around the world. He also has 16 published book chapters, 1 book authored, and has been invited to present his finding sat 56 conference proceedings around the world. Our client’s expertise can also be seen in a quote by an independent recommender, “His research interests in ecologically friendly manufacturing, energy conservation through tribology, and sustainability prove that Dr. Menezes is a forward-thinking, influential part of the tribological community." It was our goal to prove that this client qualifies for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability given that he seeks to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability, and his continued research will substantially and prospectively benefit the United States.
