Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Postdoctoral Associate in Tennessee in the Field of Materials Science
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you very much for letting me know this! It is your great help that makes this process so fast and smooth. Thank you!
On May 27, 2015, We Received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Postdoctoral Associate in the Field of Materials Science (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Associate
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Tennessee
Approval Notice Date: May 27, 2015
Processing Time: 16 Days (12 Days after Premium Processing Requested)
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a postdoctoral associate from China in the field of materials science. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized areas of piezoelectric materials for motion/vibration energy harvesting and materials for advanced Li batteries. His work had resulted in 26 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 532 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 17 manuscripts for 12 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client] modified a principal [piezoelectric] rule that has been commonly followed for the past 60 years . . . His work offers solutions and is full of unique insights. As a reader of [client’s] papers, I can certainly attest to his significant contributions.” 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 materials science, 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 16 days.
