Case Summary:
Just 6 days after North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) filed an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on behalf of an electrical engineering doctoral student in California, the USCIS approved his case. This prompt adjudication was a result of Premium Processing (PP), a paid service offered by the USCIS which allows petitioners to have action taken on their cases within 15 calendar days. This expeditious approval served as a testimonial to our firm's efforts in helping every client obtain petition approval. These are some of the main areas we focused on while building this particular client’s EB-1A petition:
- A total of 6 recommendation letters signed by other experts in the field were presented in order to establish his case. According to one of the experts: “Having become familiar with his research, I can state without hesitation that it has had a noticeable impact on the field of electrical engineering… all of these credentials establish [Client] as a top luminary in his field, truly distinguishing him from his peers.”
- At the time of filing, our client had already published 2 journal articles and a book chapter, an impressive achievement for a doctoral student. This strengthened his case to a great extent.
- We highlighted the 128 times his work had been cited by his peers and the 15 reviews he had conducted for high impact scientific journals.
- Our client's specialized research on the design and demonstration of semiconductor devices for high-performance computing systems was found to be significant in addressing the United States' understanding of interconnect technologies and neuromorphic computing. The extensive body of research undoubtedly served as a strong foundation for our client's case.
