Success Stories: Nebraska Service Center Approves EB-1A Petition for Process Integration Scientific Engineer in Utah in the Field of Electrical Engineering
Client’s Testimonial:
“I am so excited to hear this news! I appreciate your hard work in this long process (O1 and EB1A). I am very satisfied working with your team. I'll post on mitbbs about my experience and refer you to my friends. Many of my colleagues might be encouraged by my success and go to your firm for immigration help […] Thank you very much again for making this possible.”
On March 29th, 2016, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Process Integration Scientific Engineer in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Electrical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Process Integration Scientific Engineer
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Utah
Approval Notice Date: March 29th, 2016
Processing Time: 11 Days (Premium Processing Requested)
11 days after we filed an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on our client’s behalf, he received an approval notice from the USCIS. Our client, a scientific engineer from China, approached North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) when he decided that he wanted to obtain green cards for himself and his spouse.
Strong EB-1A Petition Approval:
Our legal team and support staff worked diligently to put together a solid EB-1A petition packet that highlighted our client’s various professional and scholarly accomplishments. For instance, we documented his 19 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 18 conference proceedings, and the 199 citations to his work. We demonstrated to the USCIS that our client’s findings are being used to progress the research of his peers in the field of electrical engineering. We also noted the 28 times he contributed his insights to other researchers via peer reviews for 9 well-known scientific journals.
In a bid to further strengthen the EB-1A petition, we included words of support and encouragement from our client’s peers. The six recommendation letters that our client obtained from them played an important role in proving to the USCIS that his research on silicon photonics is important to the United States. According to one of his recommenders (a prominent professor): “[Client's] work is of central importance to the semiconductor industry, which is not only one of the most important components of the United States economy, but of the global economy.”
Favorable Conclusion:
We congratulate our client for obtaining an EB-1A petition approval. It was a pleasure helping him attain it, and we look forward to helping him and his spouse obtain their green cards—we are currently in the process of preparing their I-485 applications. Once the USCIS approves their applications, they will become official American permanent residents.
