Case Summary:

At North America Immigration Law Group- WeGreened.com, we recently received an EB1B approval for a Scientist III in the field of environmental engineering. The beneficiary’s outstanding ability, highly skilled background, and impressive record of achievement provided a strong case for his EB1B petition. His specialized research had focused on the processes and materials used to convert biomass into biofuel. His work had resulted in 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 4 conference papers, 1 book, 1 book chapter, and presentations and invited talks at national and international conferences. His work had been cited 195 at the time that we filed the case; this was an especially impressive citation count considering that his research had mainly focused on the field of environmental engineering, and engineering is one of the least cited scientific fields. In addition, he had reviewed 60 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals in the field, had served on the editorial boards of 3 journals, and had served as an Associate Editor for one journal.The petitioner in this case was a private company. His superior level of achievement is confirmed in the following quote by an independent recommender, “[His] research of thermochemical pretreatment of biomass is particularly noteworthy, has advanced this area substantially, and is important for development of our domestic bioeconomy. His work is both original and groundbreaking.” It was our goal to prove that this beneficiary qualified for classification as an outstanding professor or researcher given the international recognition for his outstanding achievements. His petition was approved in just 22 days.
