Case Summary:
Supported with a Ph.D. in engineering and extensive experience in optimizing vehicular traffic flows, a teaching assistant hired our law firm to help him file an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on his behalf. As per our legal services, North America Immigration Law Group evaluated his credentials and determined that he is a highly qualified advanced degree scientist with expansive expertise to contribute significantly to the field of transportation engineering within the United States. Thus, we confirmed the provided testimonies to be true and started building his case. We detailed our client’s knowledge and achievements in the field and submitted them to the USCIS.
1. Research Report: We reviewed his research on investigating issues related to factors that influence traffic flows and is regarded as an authority in the field, and he intends to continue his work on developing a model that overcomes issues of traffic bottlenecks. After a thorough assessment, we deduced how his research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues, including reducing the burden caused by traffic congestion and traffic jams.
2. Citation Count, Publication & Peer-Review Experience: Additionally, we recorded the 227 times his publications were cited by other experts in the field. Upon reviewing his citation record, it is clear that his work has been among the most cited in the field, and he has been consistently summoned to corroborate the fact that he has made original and striking contributions documented by his publications, which has been widely recognized and relied upon in the field of transportation engineering. Also, we noted that he has gotten actively involved with his peers in the field by authoring and co-authoring 16 peer-reviewed articles, all of which have been published in well-regarded international journals.
Furthermore, we observed his work as a peer reviewer and that he has already conducted 50 reviews for highly acclaimed journals. His activities in the peer review process signify his standing as an excellent judge of quality research in the field.
3. Letters of Recommendation: We incorporated five recommendation letters obtained by our client from fellow experts to support his exceptional ability in the field, and one of his recommenders mentioned:
“[Client’s] research explicated some of the major new challenges incumbent on scientists striving to manage congestion in certain circumstances on freeways. Its inclusion in this report bespeaks its recognized importance to other work concerned with broadly similar phenomena. Given the widespread influence of his work, as illustrated by these citations of his work, it is clear that his continuing research in the field of transportation engineering is advantageous to the United States and his fellow researchers.”
As again, we are happy that our client was granted his EB-1A approval in just 8 days with our due diligence in his case and thanks to the premium processing service. We thank him for choosing us for representing his I-140 EB1A application and allowing us to become a part of this success story.
