Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for a Senior Design Engineer in California in the Field of Photonics
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you very much for the prompt notice of the approval on our case. We are so excited and don't know how to express our gratitude. You are the most professional and diligent experts, and we really appreciate your efforts. [...] The most impressive part of your service is the high standard of ethic you presented to us - when we left messages, you always replied within 24 hours, even on the weekends - just as you promised to us. We knew that we are in good hands, and we trust you fully. After we mailed out the application material to you and checked that you received them, we were so relieved and we barely checked the case status on USCIS because we were confident that you did the best job for us, and our case would soon be approved without RFE. It turned out that we are correct! Again, thank you very much for helping us! We would love to recommend you to our friends!
On January 29th, 2015, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Senior Design Engineer in the Field of Photonics (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Design Engineer
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: January 29th, 2015
Processing Time: 2 months, 9 days (6 days after Requesting Premium Processing)
For this case we worked with a photonics researcher from China with a specialized focus on theoretical and experimental investigations of the “light-trapping” properties of semiconductor nanostructures for thin film photovoltaics applications. His highly prolific career thus far had produced 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences, and he had been cited at least 426 times, primarily by independent researchers at prominent and leading institutions and organizations worldwide. This remarkable citation record clearly indicates the major significance of our client’s work. He had also reviewed at least 33 manuscripts for 10 or more distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. 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 Photonics, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. An independent recommender affirmed the significance of our client’s research: ““[Client’s] work is definitively innovative because he makes use of established structures and methods in ways that are unique and improve upon the conventional uses. A prime example of this ability is his work on silicon nanowire structures for use in solar cells… [Client’s research] is particularly notable because for large scale solar energy production, the solar cells must be able to gather energy throughout the day, even as the sun moves through the sky and the angle of the light is constantly shifting.” With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 2 months and 9 days (6 days after requesting Premium Processing).
