Success Story: EB1A Approved in 21 Days! We Helped a Chinese Researcher III – Electrical Engineering Secure Success with Premium Processing Service

Client’s Testimonial:

“My attorney team at WeGreened did an outstanding job handling my case. I want to express my sincere appreciation to the entire team. One additional detail not mentioned in the story below is that I first reached out to WeGreened on March 28th, and my EB1A was approved on July 8th. This timeline clearly demonstrates the efficiency of the WeGreened team. (Don’t waste your time reading fake ads on XHS—just reach out directly to WeGreened!)”

On July 8^th, 2025, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Researcher III – Electrical Engineering in the Field of Power Electric Systems (Approval Notice).

General Field: Power Electric Systems

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher III – Electrical Engineering

Country of Origin: China

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Colorado

Approval Notice Date: July 8^th, 2025

Processing Time: 21 days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

We are pleased to share the success story of an EB1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval granted to a highly qualified researcher in electrical and computer engineering originally from China. At the time of filing, the client was employed as a researcher at a nationally recognized U.S. energy research laboratory, where he contributed to advancing power electric systems through high-impact studies on energy system optimization and resilience.

Research with Extraordinary Significance:
Our client’s expertise lies in power electric systems, with specific contributions to power system security, reliability, and resilience. His work is particularly distinguished for integrating power-to-hydrogen strategies within unit commitment systems to optimize day-ahead scheduling under conditions of high wind penetration. These innovations are helping transform energy infrastructure by increasing the stability and flexibility of modern power grids in the face of growing renewable energy integration.

He has also conducted major projects involving real-time optimal power flow, dynamic photovoltaic hosting capacity, voltage control under variable topologies, and reinforcement learning for distribution grid load restoration. These endeavors are enabling electric grids to function more effectively during extreme weather events and have directly supported government-funded efforts to modernize the U.S. energy system.

Robust Record of Academic Authorship:
With a Ph.D. and M.S. in electrical and computer engineering, the client has demonstrated scholarly productivity through 19 peer-reviewed journal articles, 24 conference papers, as well as 3 accepted conference articles and 3 preprints. His work has appeared in some of the field’s most competitive and prestigious journals.

His published research has been cited 642 times by international experts from more than 40 countries, and at least 6 of his articles are ranked among the top 10% most-cited engineering publications of their respective years. This citation record underscores the widespread relevance and impact of his findings on both theoretical and applied aspects of electric power systems.

Recognized Authority and Service to the Field:
Beyond publishing, the client has performed over 416 journal peer reviews, reflecting consistent recognition of his expertise. He has reviewed manuscripts for top-tier publications and served as a guest editor. He was also selected to serve on a Ph.D. dissertation committee, further affirming his status as a trusted evaluator of complex, high-level research.

Endorsements and Awards:
The petition included five strong recommendation letters from independent, internationally recognized experts in power engineering. These letters emphasized the client’s leadership in developing technologies that directly benefit global efforts in energy resilience, grid security, and sustainability.

“Considering [Client’s] remarkable skill set in optimal power system operation and planning, securityconstrained unit commitment, real-time inverter control, and renewable integration optimization, the caliber of his research, and his groundbreaking work that has been published in leading journals and widely cited by other researchers globally, it is more than apparent that he is operating at the top of his field.”

In addition, the client received multiple honors for his contributions, including Best Paper Awards from top venues and recognition for outstanding peer review work, validating both the originality and influence of his research.

EB1A Approval and Outlook:
We filed this EB1A petition under premium processing and received approval in just 21 days in July 2025. The swift adjudication is a testament to the strength of the evidence and the clear case for the client’s extraordinary ability in the field.

With a solid foundation in high-impact, government-funded research and global recognition for his innovations in power system security and resilience, our client is well-positioned to continue advancing the U.S. energy sector. We are proud that the North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) was able to support this accomplished researcher in achieving EB1A approval, and we look forward to seeing his continued contributions to the nation’s critical energy infrastructure.
