Success Stories: EB1A Approval for an Environmental Engineering Postdoctoral Research Associate in only 3 weeks
Client's Testimonial:
Thank you very much for your great help! I really enjoyed the collaboration with you. I will definitely refer some of my friends to you.
On July 12th, 2013 we received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of Environmental Engineering (Approval Notice)
General Field: Environmental Engineering Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Associate Country of Origin: China Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing: Illinois Approval Notice Date: July 12, 2013 Processing Time: 3 weeks
Case Summary:
The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time.
The client in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of environmental engineering. His research had focused on the study of alternative and bioenergy sources for fuel, all with an emphasis on clean, sustainable energy. His work has resulted in at least 13 peer-reviewed scholarly articles accepted or published in leading journals, 2 book chapters pending publication, and 7 conference presentations and proceedings (with at least 223 citations at the time of case filing), clearly demonstrating that he has influenced his field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, our client had reviewed at least 63 publications for various journals in his field. Our client has been extensively recognized by independent experts, which can be seen in this quote by an independent recommender, “The structural profile [client] unveiled in this research provided instrumental supplemental information on the accuracy of genome annotation and revealed unknown gene functions and regulations in C. beijerinckii and regulations in C. beijerinckii…He discovered 20 previously non-annotated regions with substantial transcriptional activities and 15 genes that had been mis-annotated. As a result, the accuracy of existing genome annotation has been considerably enhanced.” It was our goal to prove that our 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. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in just 3 weeks.
