Success Story: EB1-B Approval for a Research Scientist for a Large Electronics Firm
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you for your help on my I-140 application. I will recommend you to my friends for sure.
On April 1st, 2013, we received another EB1-B Permanent Residency Petition for Outstanding Professor or Researcher Approval for a Research Assistant Professor in the field of Physics. Approval Notice)
General Field: Physics Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Scientist National Origin: China Service Center: Nebraska Petitioner: Large Electronics Firm State Residing at the Time of Filing: California
Case Summary:
In EB1-B/EB1-OR cases we at Chen Immigration Law and Associates treat each case in a manner that guarantees a swift and decisive approval. In this case we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were tasked with submitting evidence that proves our client was an outstanding researcher in their field of endeavor.
Our client had made substantial contributions to the field of Condensed Matter Physics through innovation in superconducting spintronics and magnetic tunnel junction devices. In order to perform such innovative and cutting-edge research, our client has cultivated a diverse background that combines analytical skills and evaluative methodology to develop and fabricate magnetic thin film devices for use in magnetic field sensing and magnetic random access memory (MRAM) technologies with a plethora of industrial and scientific applications. Moreover, our client has established a strong record of employment in the private sector which is demonstrative of high demand for his skill-set and the specialized nature of his expertise including a set of Fortune 500 companies where he was a high-in-demand engineer.
To prove that our client was internationally recognized in his research, we highlighted their academic background, especially their Ph.D. from an esteemed U.S. university. Furthermore, this researcher was distinguished in that his work had resulted in at least 6 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals and 19 conference presentations. Moreover, this researcher had been invited to present his findings at large prestigious national and international conferences such as the American Physical Society Meeting and the Conference on Magnetism and Magnetic Materials multiple times.
In addition to this client’s academic successes, we had to supply further evidence to meet the standards set by the law. We did this by obtaining the highest quality of recommendation letters from both this client’s current colleagues as well as unaffiliated researchers in this client’s field of study. Some of these letters included statements such as “Based on his major contributions to the field of physics, which have been published in top journals in the field and relied upon by numerous other researchers, I truly believe that Dr. X is one of the foremost and leading researchers in the field of physics” and “His research of the superconducting spin switch effect and the voltage controlled magnetic anisotropy are projects of particular preeminence that have inspired further work on my part. Dr. X is an innovator within our mutual field and I have cited his work several times. Through my reliance upon his work, I can attest not only to the groundbreaking nature of his work, but also to the international reach of his unique findings.”
Also when petitioning for EB1-B cases we at Chen Immigration Law Associates must prove the other USCIS criterion, mainly that our client, the beneficiary, seeks to continue research for a firm on a permanent basis and that said firm is a qualifying petitioner with the ability to pay. We proved this by highlighting the area of research that our client was actively involved with. Our client’s research is prospectively focused on the long-term development of new magnetic storage devices to replace the existing generation. Thus, the employing corporation planned to retain and promote our client. In this case, our client’s petitioner is a large electronics firm, which is a premier designer and manufacturer of recording heads for high performance hard disk drives, and it is currently a top tier research corporation in the United States.
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 April 1st, 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!
