Success Story: From Sustainable Consumption Research to I-140 EB-1B Approval in Just 13 Days Through Direct Premium Processing
Client’s Testimonial:
"I had a great experience working with the team on my immigration petitions. We filed both an NIW and an EB1B petition. The EB1B was submitted with premium processing and was approved in less than 15 business days without RFE. Throughout the process, the team was consistently helpful, professional, and very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Their guidance made a complex process feel much more manageable. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable immigration support."
On May 6th, 2026, we received another EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) approval for a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Field of Management Sciences (Approval Notice).
General Field: Management Sciences
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Tenure-Track Assistant Professor
Country of Origin: Italy
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: May 6th, 2026
Processing Time: 13 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
We are pleased to share an I-140 EB-1B approval for a management sciences scholar whose research focuses on sustainable consumption behaviors, consumer decision-making, and trust in artificial intelligence. Filed with direct Premium Processing at the time of submission, the petition was approved in just 13 days.
The client holds a Ph.D. in management sciences and is currently employed as a tenure-track assistant professor at a university. In this role, the client continues to conduct research on consumer behavior in sustainability and emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, while also publishing scholarly work, teaching, mentoring students, and contributing to the academic field through peer review and conference activity.
The client’s record of achievement included the following evidence
- 11 peer-reviewed journal articles
- 4 first-authored journal articles
- 28 abstracts
- 14 first-authored abstracts
- 781 citations to the client’s published work
- At least 80 completed peer reviews
- 2 letters of recommendation from experts in the field
These metrics were not presented as self-evidently sufficient. Instead, the petition explained how the publication record showed sustained scholarly output in management sciences, sustainable consumption, consumer behavior, and AI adoption. The first-authored publications helped demonstrate that the client had taken a leading role in developing original research questions and advancing the field’s understanding of how identity, altruism, autonomy, and trust shape consumer decisions.
The petition was also supported by 2 letters of recommendation from experts familiar with the client’s research and its influence. One expert noted: “Ensuring that [Client’s] work proceeds is thus not only important to the U.S. but to the international research community as well.”
We demonstrated the client’s significance by connecting her scholarly work to broader academic and practical needs. The petition showed that her research provides useful frameworks for understanding sustainable consumer behavior, designing more effective sustainability messaging, and improving trust in AI-supported purchasing tools. We also highlighted how independent researchers across multiple countries had cited and applied her work, which supported the argument that her contributions had achieved international recognition in the field.
We congratulate the client on this I-140 EB-1B approval and wish her continued success in advancing management sciences research on sustainable consumption, consumer behavior, and responsible AI adoption.
