Success Stories: Electronics Engineering Expert with EB1A Approval Will Undergo Immigrant Visa Processing in Taiwan

 

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you very much for the effort spending on my petition. I'm very appreciated.”


On January 21st, 2017, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Petitioner in the Field of Electronics Engineering (Approval Notice).

Position at the Time of Case Filing: N/A

Country of Origin: Taiwan

Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Outside the US

Approval Notice Date: January 21st, 2017

Processing Time: 3 months, 29 days


Case Summary:

Nearly 4 months after North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) filed an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on behalf of an electronics engineering experts based in Taiwan, the USCIS approved the petition. Because our client does not reside in the US, he cannot file an I-485 application (the second and final step in the green card process). Instead, he must undergo immigrant visa processing (IVP). To learn more about IVP, please visit http://www.wegreened.com/Immigrant-Visa-Processing.

Putting together a strong EB1A petition is no easy feat but our experienced and competent team worked diligently to build a convincing case for our client. These are some of the key points we focused on:

  • We noted the 11 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 8 conference proceedings papers in our client’s name.
  • Using Google Scholar, we determined that our client’s work had collected 456 citations at the time of filing.
  • Moreover, we listed the 45 times our client was invited to assess the work of his peers on behalf of prominent scientific journals.
Based on the information above, we were able to prove to the USCIS that our client is a highly respected contributor to the field of electronics engineering. To further fortify our client’s EB1A petition, we included recommendation letters volunteered by other experts in the field. Overall, 5 experts lent their support, one of whom noted that “… [Client] has provided a great amount of knowledge to our area of research. Without him, the electrical engineering field would certainly not be where we are today, and I thereby confidently assert that the continuation of his work is absolutely essential… I highly encourage you to give [Client’s] application the serious and careful evaluation that it deserves, for his research has greatly impacted the highly pervasive spheres of electrical engineering and research and deserves to be fully supported.”

Our meticulous efforts enabled us to understand our client’s work on the design of analog mixed-signal integrated circuits for clock and data recovery purposes and further prove to the USCIS that his findings advance digital and semiconductor applications in the United States. We have no doubt that our strong presentation of our client’s skills and the various benefits that the US stands to gain from his presence in the country paved the way for case approval.

We are pleased to have been of service to our client and we wish him well as he undergoes immigrant visa processing in his birth country of Taiwan.
