Case Summary:

Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with is a civil engineer from China with a specialization in warm mix and hot mix asphalt. His research specifically focuses on methods by which their durability can be improved through the addition of different types of additives that decrease moisture susceptibility and rutting and cracking tendencies. This client wished to continue his work in asphalt research, which will play a vital role in the continuing improvement of infrastructure nationwide. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of civil engineering, including 5 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals, which garnered 34 citations by international scientists and researchers. This is a commendable record compared to that of his peers in the field of civil engineering. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “He has proved his worth in the industry time and time again, frequently experimenting with asphalt technology in order to improve the durability, environmental friendliness, and overall safety of the materials used to create roads.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client will serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved in 1 month.
