Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Postdoctoral Research Associate in South Carolina in the Field of Materials Science
Client’s Testimonial:
It took me almost 24 hours to believe that I got I140 approval. Thank you very much for your support. [...] It was only you who gave me courage to apply for green card with low citations. People can't believe that I never spoke to my lawyer on phone or I never met to my lawyer, still I got my green card approval in less than one month. I am really thankful to you from bottom of my heart. I will do everything from my side to refer you in every possible manner.

A postdoctoral research associate from India who worked in materials science was our client in this case. His specialized research had focused on the synthesis of polymer nano-composites and the development of improved membrane technology to improve power production and produced water treatment. His body of work comprised 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles, numerous presentations at national and international conferences, and 4 provisional patents; by the time we filed his case, his research had received no fewer than 88 citations from independent and leading researchers at prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, a strong indication of the major significance of his work. He had also performed peer-review service for 15 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals, reviewing at least 103 manuscripts. An independent recommender testified to the importance of our client’s work and the exceptional nature of his ability: “[Client] […] has made fundamental contributions to the development of composite materials and membrane-based technologies. His work has played an essential role in the reduction of the environmental impacts of power production in the United States, the facilitation of drug delivery using nanoparticle coatings, and the protection of public safety, and the environment, through the development of transparent nano-composite materials from rice husk waste that can withstand civilian grade weapons.” 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 twenty-six days.
