Success Stories: EB-1A Petition Approved for Optics Physicist from China in the Field of Optical Engineering
Client’s Testimonial:
“I appreciate your great effort in helping my application. I really like your service and will recommend you to my friends.”
On January 19th, 2016, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for an Optics Physicist in the Field of Optical Engineering (Approval Notice).
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Optics Physicist
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas
Approval Notice Date: January 19th, 2016
Processing Time: 34 days (Premium Processing requested)
In this EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) case, our client was an optics physicist working in the field of optical engineering. She sought North America Immigration Law Group’s help to file an EB-1A petition. To speed up the process, our client opted for Premium Processing. The USCIS approved her I-140 in a little over a month.
Our client, who has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, develops optical techniques and instrumentation for effective optical imaging and optical sensors. Her research encourages the implementation of Raman spectroscopy imaging, which is crucial for the exploration of optical sensors and instruments that are applied to tissue analysis, clinical diagnosis, biosensors, molecular sensing, chemical imaging, and material science.
In the petition packet we submitted to the USCIS, we included summaries of our client’s research projects and highlighted the importance of her work to the United States. We established the impact of our client’s research to other scientists in the field by including her citation record, publication list, and peer review experience. At the time of filing, they stood at 264 citations, 15 articles, and 19 instances respectively. We also helped her collect recommendation letters from several specialists in her field, which we included as part of her EB-1A presentation. One of these letters stated, “This discovery constitutes an unprecedented insight that revolutionizes biosensor detection technology, allowing for heightened sensitivity through the employment of a simple detection system that is quick and facile to implement. Such an effective method was unbeknownst to researchers prior to [Client’s] study, and she has been since credited accordingly of advancing biosensor technology immeasurably.”
We congratulate her on completing a major step toward permanent residency.
