North American Immigration Law Group recently received approval for an EB1B petition on behalf of a MEMS fluidics engineer in California working in the field of electrical engineering. The petitioner was a private company. As a researcher, the beneficiary has specialized in the study of microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip development. Over the course of his career, he had produced 5 peer-reviewed journal publications as well as 4 papers in conference proceedings and 6 conference presentations and posters. He had also reviewed 2 articles for acclaimed journals in his field. Independent researchers from prestigious organizations and institutions around the world contributed the majority of the 78 citations his body of work had received at the time of filing, an able testament to the high significance of the beneficiary’s research. An independent recommender underscored the beneficiary’s impressive record of achievement: “[Beneficiary] developed a new method for detecting antibody binding to a pathogen-specific antigen. This can be used to more effectively detect a number of infectious agents in the human body. [Beneficiary] developed an immunoassay that utilized a poly(dimethylsiloxane) based microfluidic cartridge as the disposable immunoreactor, on which key processes such as reagent delivery, incubation and washing are performed using low voltage AC signals. Furthermore, [Beneficiary] incorporated a low cost detection module that was backed by light diode induced fluorescence. This diagnostic system is verified to have much short incubation time than traditional systems, and it also demonstrated a tenfold signal increase required to differentiate between positive and negative antibodies.” We successfully showed that he qualified for classification as an outstanding professor or researcher given his outstanding ability, skilled background, and international recognition for his work. Given the extensive documentation we submitted, the petition was approved in three months and eight days.
