Success Stories: Thanks to PP, a Chinese Research Fellow in Quantum Chemistry Got an EB-1A Approval in 1 Month Only with Our Diligent Efforts
Client’s Testimonial:
“Many thanks for your service and for all your help in this long process!”
On August 12th, 2021, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Research Fellow in the Field of Quantum Chemistry (Approval Notice).
General Field: Quantum Chemistry
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Fellow
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New Jersey
Approval Notice Date: August 12th, 2021
Processing Time: 1 month (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
One of the sure sort ways to determine the value of a researcher’s work is to look at their experience as a peer reviewer for journals. This is so because only highly qualified and reliable researchers in any field are invited to evaluate the work of their peers. So, when a Chinese research fellow working in the field of quantum chemistry with 13 peer reviews under his belt approached us, we could immediately recognize that the case had potential. But given the strictures of the EB-1A petition, we asked our team of experts to conduct a thorough credential check for us before entering an attorney-client relationship with him. We planned to use the information from his CV, his transcripts, and recommendation letters to custom design his petition packet.
So, we gathered information about his publications, his citations, and his peer review experience. This we found was helpful in building a solid argument in his favor.
- The field has recognized his authority by inviting him to review and evaluate the work of his peers no fewer than 13 times.
- He has actively engaged his peers in the field of quantum chemistry by authoring and co-authoring 19 peer-reviewed scientific articles that have been published in international journals.
- His publications have been cited by researchers in at least 61 countries according to Google Scholar. And due to its great applicability in the field, his research in quantum chemistry has been cited 1,519 times in other peer-reviewed journal articles according to Google Scholar. This places him in the top 1% of most highly cited authors publishing on topics in Chemistry over the past 10 years.
- Furthermore, his study has received funding from 2 leading agencies, namely the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the U.S. National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Energy.
