Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you for all your help. It was a great pleasure to work with you and you have done an excellent work.
On January 6th, 2014, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Field of Materials Chemistry (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Scholar
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: January 6th, 2015
Processing Time: 26 Days (13 Days after Premium Processing Requested)
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Scholar from China in the field of Materials Chemistry. His specialized research has focused on bio-based materials chemistry. His work had resulted in 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 15 presentations at national and international conferences, 1 book chapter, and 1 patent pending; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 179 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 132 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “Given the strong, controllable properties of [client’s] nanocellulose materials, his work is reducing reliance on plastics, while fostering improvements in a number of medical and pharmaceutical products, as well as inorganic nanoparticle synthesis and superabsorbent materials.” 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 Materials Chemistry, 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 26 days.
