On May 4^th, 2016, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for an Assistant Professor in the Field of Wireless Engineering (Approval Notice).

General Field: Wireless Engineering

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: North Carolina

Approval Notice Date: May 4^th, 2016

Case Summary:

Thanks to Premium Processing, our client was informed that his EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition was approved just 9 days after filing. Premium Processing is a $1,225 top-up service offered by the USCIS that allows certain petitioners to have action taken on their I-140 petitions within 15 days instead of 4-9 months. Although it doesn’t come cheap, Premium Processing is worth it for petitioners who are unable or unwilling to wait several months for the USCIS to take action on their case.

Persuasive Presentation:

North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) was tasked with building and presenting a strong EB-1A case to the USCIS. Our client, an assistant professor from China, placed his complete trust in us to help him accomplish his green card dreams. In preparing our client’s petition, we did everything we could to obtain as much relevant information as possible regarding his professional performance as a wireless engineering expert. Leaving no stone unturned, we established that our client had published 27 scientific articles and that his work had collected an impressive 455 citations when we filed the case. Furthermore, we proved to the USCIS that our client had conducted an astounding 240 peer reviews for numerous prestigious journals and conferences. We presented our client’s case in such a way that his leadership role in the field could not be more clearly highlighted.

Additionally, we prompted our client to connect with his peers and request for recommendation letters. We made sure that the letters included in our client’s EB-1A petition packet were signed by experts who were familiar with our client’s publications and/or had worked with him. According to one of our client’s recommenders, “…he has provided his field and many worldwide industries in communications and mobile computing with the much needed tools for establishing fast, powerful networks…” These letters were bolstered by other supporting evidence such as a copy of our client’s doctoral diploma, his CV, and details on his employment status. We also noted our client’s research efforts on designing enhanced wireless and mobile communication networks and their various benefits in progressing renewable energy and improving energy efficiency in American wireless and cellular communication networks.

Optimistic Outcome:

With such impressive credentials under his belt, it came as no surprise that the USCIS approved our client’s EB-1A petition. We congratulate him for overcoming this significant hurdle in the green card journey. Not long ago, we filed I-485 applications for our client and his wife, and we join them as they wait for optimistic news from the USCIS. Once their applications are approved, they will walk away with their green cards. We wish them the best and thank them for working with us.
