Success Stories: EB1A Approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of Synthetic Chemistry from India
Client’s Testimonial:
I would highly recommend Chen Immigration Law and Associates for anyone who seeks legal help for immigration issues. Ms. Chen and her associates helped me prepare and file for my EB1-A, which was approved recently. Ms. Chen and her associates are highly knowledgeable, thoroughly professional people who are courteous and prompt in terms of responses to your concerns and queries. Thank you for all your help with my EB1-A application.
On July 31st, 2013 we received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of Synthetic Chemistry (Approval Notice)
General Field: Synthetic Chemistry Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Associate National Origin: India Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing: Washington Approval Notice Date: July 31, 2013 Processing Time: 5 ½ months (6 days after request for Premium Processing Service)
Case Summary:
The client in this case was a postdoctoral research associate in the field of synthetic chemistry. His work had primarily focused on the development of polymers for energy related applications and the understanding of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) for their use as catalysts. His work had resulted in at least 8 peer-reviewed journal publications and 9 conference proceedings. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had accumulated at least 225 citations, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, he had conducted 3 paper reviews for journals related to the field of synthetic chemistry. Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “[Client] has also mastered many experimental methods that he has applied unique situations that allow for the discovery of important polymers and their properties that can be used as toxic material sensors, fuel storage cells, or gas sequestration. The ability to develop substances with practical purpose is what distinguishes him from the rest of the people in his field.” 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 synthetic chemistry, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 5 ½ months.
