Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Postdoctoral Research Associate in South Carolina in the Field of Engineering
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you so much for your great support during my I-140 application! I am very excited to hear this news. Looking forward to working with you on my I-485 application!
On December 2nd, 2014, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Field of Engineering (Approval Notice)
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Associate
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: South Carolina
Approval Notice Date: December 2nd, 2014
Processing Time: 20 Days (8 Days After Premium Processing Requested)
In this case we were offered the opportunity to work with a postdoctoral researcher from China whose highly specialized work focused on the development of nanomaterials and optical materials for scientific and medical purposes. He had produced 20 peer-reviewed journal articles and given numerous presentations at national and international conferences; altogether our client’s work had received no fewer than 184 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, showing its major significance within his field. He had also reviewed 22 manuscripts for 7 prominent, internationally-circulated journals. An independent recommender endorsed our client’s superior level of expertise: “[Client] ingeniously developed a zeolite-based material using both erbium and bismuth which produces efficient, tunable, long-lived emission bands at 930-1450 nm and 1450-1630 nm. [Client’s technique and formula permits] robust production of near-infrared emissions using erbium ions in zeolites for the first time.” 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 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 just twenty days.
