Success Stories: EB-1A Approval for Senior Research Scientist in Georgia in the Field of High-Energy Nuclear Physics
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you very much for your help for my I 140 application. I appreciate it a lot.
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Research Scientist
National Origin: China
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Georgia
Approval Notice Date: April 8, 2014
Processing Time: 3 months, 28 days
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Senior Research Scientist from China in the field of high-energy nuclear physics. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized areas of heavy ion collisions and his work had resulted in at least 43 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. At the time that his case was filed, these publications been cited at least 922 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. In addition, he had reviewed at least 3 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals in his field. The gravity and novelty of his work is confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “I think that [he] has demonstrated a remarkable capacity for completing technically complex and creative research. His findings are currently being used by many researchers to further their understanding of antimatter. The field of nuclear physics would be greatly weakened if his research were to cease. Very few scientists possess the level of training and innovation [he] has repeatedly displayed, and thus I most highly commend his research.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of high-energy nuclear physics, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in less than 4 months.
