We recently received an EB1A for postdoctoral associate in the field of cosmology. His work focused mainly on the development of technologies and methods that will help further understand our universe. It was our goal to prove that this client qualifies for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability given that he seeks to enter the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability and that his entry into the United States will substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. Our client’s has earned the high regard and accommodation of his peers as evidenced by an outstanding record of achievement, including 322 citations across 22 peer-reviewed scientific articles and one book. His contributions to the field are also recognized by other experts, notably in a statement by an independent recommender who stated, “Now, more than ever before, development of strategies for securing preeminence in the field of astrophysics is becoming supremely important to the United States from a global standpoint. [The Petitioner's] skills are essential in deciphering new quantitative methodologies for executing necessary simulations of predictive universal models.” We at Chen Immigration Law Associates collected recommendation letters from leading experts in the field that argue the necessity of continuation of our client’s work. This client’s case was approved in just 24 days.
