Our client holds an M.Sc. in Engineering Mechanics and a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering. At the time of his I-140 filing, his achievements included 153 citations and 10 peer-reviewed papers published in prestigious journals. He contacted North America Immigration Law Group and hired us to file an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition for him.
This postdoctoral researcher, who is from India, has significantly contributed to the field of materials engineering. As one of his recommenders put it, “[Client] is a computational materials scientist and mechanical engineer whose work has substantially affected our understanding of the uses of atomistic modeling in material design and as such, he presents one of the best opportunities for improving the development of advanced materials for aerospace and automobile uses…” The team at North America Immigration Law Group presented this testimonial, and several others, to the USCIS. We also proved the significance of our client’s research to the United States’ industry, technology, defense, and sustainable energy sectors.
By clearly presenting our client’s research on the design and optimization of advanced materials and microstructures, as well as the optimization of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for next-generation electric vehicles, we demonstrated that his work is crucial to the nation. We are pleased that the approval of his I-140 brings him closer to his green card, and on behalf of the entire firm, we wish him congratulations.
