State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: March 21st, 2016
Processing Time: 4 months, 12 days (Premium Processing Requested)
This EB-1B (Outstanding Professors and Researchers) case involved a gifted scientist from India. He hired North America Immigration Law Group to help him file an I-140 petition under EB-1B. Since this is an employer-petitioned visa category, he needed his employer’s full support, which he received. Additionally, his employer—a private company—furnished us with all the information we needed to efficiently file our client’s EB-1B petition.
A main part of our job was to compile as much relevant information as we could on our client’s various professional and scholarly achievements and put together an impressive EB-1B petition dossier. We listed his 3 published scientific papers and the 63 citations gathered from his work. Furthermore, we proved to the USCIS that our client’s research findings are of great value to not just his employer, but to the United States as a whole. We did this by carefully reviewing and accounting for our client’s various research projects on numerically modeling and simulating fluid dynamics processes, such as high-speed combustion in scramjet engines and the aerodyanamics of spacecrafts. We used what we learned to prove to the USCIS that our client’s investigations are contributing to the United States’ spacecraft construction and aeronautical engineering efforts.
In a bid to make our case even stronger, we advised our client to obtain recommendation letters from several other specialists in his field. His perseverance paid off and he returned with six strong testimonials. Here are a couple of excerpts:
- “…[Client] has made advancements in how we study and design these engines through numerical computational simulations, which reduce the expenses and time involved in the procedure. There are few with the talent to make such worthwhile discoveries, and so I feel [Client’s] status as a researcher speaks for itself.” – Prominent mechanical and aerospace engineering professor
- “[Client] is a rare talent who has leveraged his abilities with numerical simulation to offer breakthroughs in numerical simulation of this technology, so that they can be studied and likewise constructed with a degree of expediency and efficacy not hitherto enjoyed by the field.” – Well-known aerospace engineering assistant professor
