Client’s Testimonial:

Thanks for all the help in getting me and my family this far.

On June 11th, 2013, we received another EB1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Professor in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice)

General Field: Electrical Engineering Position at the Time of Case Filing: Professor National Origin: India Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing: Alabama Approval Notice Date: June 11, 2013 Processing Time: 2 Months

Case Summary:

The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time.

Here at Chen Immigration Law Associates, we recently received an EB1A for a professor in the field of electrical engineering from India. His work focused primarily on wireless communications, signal processing, error control coding, and queuing theory. Our client seeks to continue work in the field of electrical engineering. 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 work has resulted in at least 70 peer-reviewed scholarly publications, 2 book publications, and 53 conference presentations appearing in leading journals and international conference proceedings. His publications have been cited at least 128 times by researchers around the world, signifying the major significance of his research work in the field of his endeavor. His expertise can also be seen in a quote by an independent recommender, “The work of [the Petitioner], is beneficial to United States and its citizens as it is applied to both the manufacturing and communications industries. His work has the ability to save these companies time and money as well as increase performance for and the satisfaction of their customers.” With the strong petition and recommendation letters we prepared, his case was swiftly approved in just 2 months.
