Success story: EB-1A approval for an R&D Process Engineer in the field of Optics and Nanotechnology
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you for the excellent news! In fact, I already recommended you to one of my former colleagues and last time I talked to him, his NIW has been approved!
On November 18th, 2013 we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a R&D Process Engineer in the field of Optics and Nanotechnology (Approval Notice)
General Field: Optics and Nanotechnology
Position at the Time of Case Filing: R&D Process Engineer
Country of Origin: Russia
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Idaho
Approval Notice Date: November 18th, 2013
Processing Time: 9 months
Case Summary:
Another exceptional client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Research and Development Process Engineer from Russia working in the field of Optics and Nanotechnology. Specifically, his research had contributed to advancements for biological and chemical agents as well as nanochips, which are essential to the development of next generation sensing and energy applications. His work had resulted in at least 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had accumulated at least 784 citations, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced the optics and nanotechnology field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, various experts and editors had requested his professional service as a reviewer of manuscripts for publication for two top-tier field journals, and he had reviewed five manuscripts at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[His] work has produced highly applicable and valued research that has been of great use to many laboratories around the world. Those of us in the optical sciences, especially in the sub-fields of nanooptics, nanophotonics, and laserscpectroscopy, depend on cutting-edge research of the caliber published by [him] to conduct studies that will lead to global improvements in technology and accessibility.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Optics and Nanotechnology, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. Through extensive documentation, we successfully argued that our client met the requirements for an alien of extraordinary ability, and his I-140 application was approved in 9 months.
