Client’s Testimonial:
It is with the most utmost gratitude that I would like to thank your entire [Chen Immigration Team] for my EB-1A I-140 approval. I have no personal affiliation with your firm except that I took your services for my application, yet there is no doubt in my mind that you guys are the best, and I think this for a few reasons. First, I have always received a very simple and prompt response within 24 hours to any query I have had, no matter how long-winded, confusing or easy the question was. Given this process is no doubt very stressful for most people, getting your questions answered in a timely and reliable fashion is certainly invaluable. Second, the quality of your reference letters and the petition letters are outstanding in bringing out the very best in one's CV. Most of all, they are thorough, and have incredible attention to detail. Third, the entire process described in your client packet is very well laid out, organized, easy to follow and time-bound. I am sure I may have missed some reasons, but this almost sums up why I think that you are the best. Thanks a ton!

In this case, the client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate inCaliforniain the field of Optics. He has successfully conducted scientific research demonstrating the design, development and fabrication of vision corrective prosthetics and sensitive optics instrumentation for the treatment and diagnosis of some of the most challenging cases in ophthalmology. Specifically, hisresearch addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding the technological development of corrective optics for patients with abnormal corneas who have highly aberrant vision. His work had resulted in 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 patents, and more than 33 peer-reviewed international conference presentations. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 180 times by researchers around the world, serving as apparent and objective evidence of his major influence and impact on the field of endeavor, in addition to his sustained international acclaim. He had also conducted 21 manuscript reviews for 7 distinctive, internationally circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] has made and continues to make invaluable contributions to research in vision science. These contributions are important for the U.S. as they relate to eye diseases that are widespread, Such as keratoconus, presbyopia and other age-related eye diseases.” 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 Optics, 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 4 months and 13 days.
