Client’s Testimonial:

Thank you for your great work and all your hard work! I will post this on mitbbs and recommend you to my friends. Actually I have recommended two friends. They will contact with Attorney Chen of North America Immigration Law Group later. Thanks again!

On April 7, 2015, We Received Another EB1-A(Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Research Associate in the Field of Materials Chemistry (Approval Notice)

General Field: Materials Chemistry

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Associate

Country of Origin: China

Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Arkansas

Approval Notice Date: April 7, 2015

Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a research associate from China in the field of materials chemistry. She had conducted her research in the highly specialized area of the development of two-dimensional nanomaterials, specifically comprised of graphene and molybdenum disulfide. Her work had resulted in 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 conference publications, and 6 patents; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 359 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work. She had also reviewed 11 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender,“As I have made abundantly clear, [Client] is a highly skilled and accomplished researcher, and has made great strides in the development and application of graphene. Because of graphene’s capacity to play an integral role in increasingly relevant fields such as lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, and supercapacitors within the field of clean energy, any advancements in this unbelievably complex technology are indicative of an invaluable researcher.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of materials chemistry, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 22 days.
