Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you so much. I will share my experience working with Wegreened in the forum and refer friends. Without your help, my case couldn't get approved so quickly.”


On March 24th, 2016, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Senior Member of the Technical Staff in the Field of Applied Physics (Approval Notice).

Case Summary:

A month and 9 days after we initially filed an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on our client’s behalf, she decided that she wanted her case to be adjudicated under Premium Processing. We helped her upgrade her case and merely 8 days after that, she received notification of case approval from Nebraska Service Center.

EB-1A Petition:

North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) was hired to compile and submit a strong EB-1A petition for a senior technical staff member from China. Our client’s illustrious professional and scholarly background made her a suitable candidate for this visa category. As soon as an attorney-client relationship was established, our attorneys and support staff got to work. Here are some of the things we included in our client’s EB-1A petition packet:

  1. Her publication and citation count were prominently documented. At the time of filing, they were 15 and 200 respectively.
  2. We noted the 40 times our client was invited to assess the work of other researchers working in the field of applied physics. As journals only invite field leaders to conduct peer reviews, we used our client’s impressive record as proof that her insights are valued by the scientific community.
  3. Our client’s research ventures on Terahertz Technology, such as Terahertz imaging, Terahertz Spectroscopy, and Terahertz wireless communications were also detailed. We determined that her investigations benefit a range of commercial and industrial institutions, and that her work improves everything from current methods of improvised explosive device detection to revolutionizing vehicle painting processes.
  4. Third-party support is essential when building a strong case. We prompted our client to reach out to other expert physicists and ask them for testimonials. The six letters that she managed to obtain firmly supported her EB-1A petition. Here is a quote from one of the letters: “As a fellow researcher vested in improving such technologies, I can say without a doubt that allowing [Client] to conduct her research in the United States is instrumental in ensuring that the country remains in the forefront of terahertz technologies, especially communication systems implemented in a wide variety of fields.”
Our diligent efforts in highlighting our client’s strong credentials persuaded the USCIS to grant their approval. We congratulate our client on this joyous occasion and wish her well as she continues to advance her field of applied physics.
