Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Postdoctoral Fellow in Texas in the Field of Electrochemistry
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you so much for your help. I will share my experience on mitbbs.
On April 1st, 2015, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Electrochemistry (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas
Approval Notice Date: April 1st, 2015
Processing Time: 1 Year, 2 Months, 8 Days
(Including RFE Response Time; Approved 4 Days after Premium Processing Requested)
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Fellow from China in the field of Electrochemistry. He conducts his research in the highly specialized areas of lithium and sodium ion batteries. His work had resulted in 25 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 4 publications at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 175 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed 38 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] experimented with doping materials and synthesis processes to eventually create a modified spinel composite. The previous process improved the materials electrochemical performance often failed to create a solid or homogeneous coating. [Client] formulated a method which differs from the original in that it creates optimal cycling and rate capability.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Electrochemistry, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 1 year, 2 months, and 8 days.
