Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for PhD Candidate in California in the Field of Electrical Engineering
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you for your help with my case throughout. It has been a pleasant and professional experience. I will definitely leave a nice review and recommend your firm to our friends.
On November 13th, 2014, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a PhD Candidate in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: PhD Candidate
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: November 13th, 2014
Processing Time: 5 Months, 3 Days
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a PhD Candidate from China in the field of Electrical Engineering. His specialized research has focused on energy efficient nanoelectronics by integrating carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons into phase change materials. His work had resulted in 13 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 31 presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 300 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed 46 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] has demonstrated that Phase change materials (PCMs) can be scaled down with nanoscale electrodes to significantly reduce the power needed for memory and reprogrammable circuit applications. In fact, he has managed to create the most energy-efficient phase change memory to date.” 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 Electrical Engineering, 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 5 months and 3 days.
