Success Stories: We Helped a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Materials Chemistry to Secure an NIW and EB-1A Quickly with Premium Processing

 

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you very much! I appreciate the work WeGreened team has done for my case!”


On August 5th, 2021, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of Materials Chemistry (Approval Notice).


General Field: Materials Chemistry

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Maryland

Approval Notice Date: August 5th, 2021

Processing Time: 2 months, 1 day (Premium Processing Requested)


Case Summary:

The EB-1A category caters to an extremely specialized group of immigrants desirous to move to the United States. It is in this category that we at North America Immigration Law Group specialize. With no less than 25,000 approvals, we are uniquely equipped to prepare our clients to succeed in their applications. So, when a postdoctoral fellow in materials chemistry approached us to help in the adjudication process, we formed our judgment based on our intensive background check routine. We found that his work has advanced the field and inspired the work of his peers by establishing new techniques to synthesize and modify novel materials in order to achieve desirable properties for biomedical imaging and chemical sensing applications. We were thus able to establish the veracity of his claims as well as personalize the petition as per the requirements of the involved parties.

There were a few specific details that we sought to include in the petition letter, such as the publication history, citation count, and his experience as a reviewer. We also included recommendations from dependent and independent experts in the field to further corroborate the information our client had already provided.

  • We noticed that his research has resulted in 27 peer-reviewed scientific articles. Moreover, these papers have been published in some of the most discerning, high-impact journals in his field. These venues are extremely selective with a rigorous peer-review process, making publication in them a rare accomplishment.
  • We found that his research in materials chemistry has been cited a massive 952 times in 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 according to Microsoft Academic.
  • We discovered that the field has recognized his authority by inviting him to review and evaluate the work of his peers no fewer than 24 times. In fact, he serves as a topics board editor for one of the most prestigious journals in his field, where he plays an even larger role in qualifying the work of his peers.
Finally, we saw how important his work had been for the United States and its public by looking at some of the recommendations as follows:

“The innovative nature of his work, along with his impressive history of publication in top-ranked journals, regular peer review contributions, and reception of eminent governmental funding, identify him as one of the most accomplished members of the materials chemistry community. His consistent record of professional achievement provides a guarantee that he will maintain—and surpass—his excellent quality of work if given the opportunity to extend his research in the U.S.”

“In fact, more than one million deaths have been caused by chemical warfare agents over the past century, underscoring the importance of identifying new decontamination strategies. Overall, [the client’s] research helps to protect the U.S. public and American soldiers from a variety of toxic chemicals, verifying that his work has national implications.”

We thus wish him the best and send him our warmest regards for his future endeavors to enrich the field of materials chemistry here in the U.S.
