[Chen Immigration Law Associates]: I have all confidence in you and I will absolutely refer you to my friends.

Recently, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates received another approval for an EB1 A (EB1-EA) case in just 9 days for leading expert in Optoelectronics (Approval Notice)

General Field: Optoelectronics Position at the Time of Case Filing: Engineer National Origin: India Service Center: Nebraska Processing Time: 9 days

Case Summary:

On January 18th, another one of Chen Immigration Law Associates’ EB1A (EB-1-EA) cases was successfully adjudicated in favor of our client. The challenge with this petition was that our client is an expert in the highly specialized field of Optoelectronics and although our client had impressive credentials in this highly specialized field, it is not true that the narrower the field is defined the more likely a petition will be approved. Therefore, in order to demonstrate that our client was at the very top of the field of endeavor, we decided to broaden the field, focusing on the vast scope and significance of solar energy.

We at Chen Immigration Law Associates pride ourselves in our ability to investigate each case individually and determine what strategies would be most effective in proving our clients “extraordinary” ability. Therefore, since our client’s highly specialized field in optoelectronics was utilized in solar cells, we framed the petitioner as an expert emphasizing global need for renewable.

In order to evidence this profound impact, we drafted nine petition letters that were then reviewed, edited, and signed by each recommender, demonstrating our client’s extensive experience and ability in solar cell research. Through brilliant investigation we were able to document that our client’s work was integral in 38 countries and substantially vital to the advancement of commercial implementation of solar energy.

Additionally, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates know the importance of government funding and allocation, thus, we were able to appeal to the goal of the United States in their desire to improve their energy resources. We argued the comprehensive influence of our client in such a way the USCIS clearly recognized our client’s merit. Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to receive from the USCIS an approval within 9 days of filing the case utilizing premium processing.

Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on January 18, 2013.

With this in consideration, it is important to emphasize that the processes and expertise practiced by Chen Immigration Law Associates. Not only do we develop the best possible strategies for each case, but we execute these strategies with the utmost effectiveness!
