Case Summary:

Not long ago, North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) helped a well-known controls engineer from China attain an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition approval. She recently retained our services to file I-485 applications (final step towards a green card) for herself and her spouse. Once the I-485 applications are approved, our client and her spouse will receive their green cards. We are currently awaiting a favorable decision from the USCIS.

Case Proceedings:

One of the first things we did in building a strong EB-1A petition packet for our client was help her select potential recommenders. We made sure that the shortlisted candidates were familiar with our client’s work (mainly through her 24 publications) and/or had worked with her. We needed them to attest to the value of our client’s research—on integrated multiple agent control systems design for smart buildings to provide sustainable energy management and comfort—in order to demonstrate to the USCIS that our client is an asset to the United States. Our client convinced four electrical engineering experts to furnish us with recommendation letters, one of whom described her work as “…a necessary component for more advancements in the development of smart buildings and smart grids for many years to come.”

Alongside these letters was data on the 30 times our client conducted peer reviews for prominent scientific journals and the 511 citations amassed from her work. We firmly established that our client’s role as a leading researcher in the field of electrical engineering not only advances the research of other engineers, but benefits the Unites States as a whole. In the field of Building Automation and Smart Grid, our client’s research has various applications that benefit the nation.

Thanks to Premium Processing, our client received an approval notice from Texas Service Center merely 11 days after we field her EB-1A petition. We congratulate her on this milestone and wish her well as she continues to progress the field of electrical engineering.
