Case Summary:
An Iranian researcher with extensive experience in the field of chemical engineering hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition for him. Despite it being a very difficult visa category, we were confident that our client possessed the right qualifications to obtain petition approval. These are some of the key points contained in his EB-1A petition dossier:
- We noted our client’s research on the production of models for predicting the properties of chemical compounds like ionic liquids on a molecular level. We then demonstrated that his work is essential to the US as it boasts various applications such as the development of an effective model for modeling the molecular diffusivity of chemical compounds in various media, and a model for predicting the physico-chemical properties of ionic liquids.
- Our client’s peer review record was also documented. At the time of filing, he had already conducted 20 peer reviews for quite a number of well-known scientific journals.
- We were also sure to include our client’s citation and publication record. When we filed the case, his 31 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 1 book chapter had amassed an impressive 377 citations. These numbers proved that our client’s work is being utilized by various researchers around the world, all of whom are working hard to progress the field as a whole.
Immigrant Visa Processing (IVP):
Green card applicants residing in the US will adjust their status for permanent residence by filing an I-485 application. For those who do not reside in the country, they must undergo Immigrant Visa Processing (IVP). In a nutshell, applicants and their dependents have to pay the fees, submit the paperwork, and attend an interview at the correct US embassy/consulate. Assuming everything goes according to plan, the embassy/consulate will then issue immigrant visas which they will then use to enter the US as a permanent residents. As our client resides in South Africa, he and his wife must undergo IVP. We wish them the best with this step and look forward to updates.
