Success Stories: EB1A Approval for a Senior Fluidics Engineer in the field of Acoustic Materials Engineering in just 9 days
On September 18th, 2013 we received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Senior Fluidics Engineer in the field of Acoustic Materials Engineering (Approval Notice)
General Field: Acoustic Materials Engineering Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Fluidics Engineer National Origin: Taiwan Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California Approval Notice Date: September 18, 2013 Processing Time: 9 days (Premium Processing Service requested)
Case Summary:
The client in this case was a senior fluidics engineer from Taiwan in the field of acoustic materials engineering, which is an interdisciplinary specialty that boasts a plethora of applications for medical diagnosis, therapeutic strategies, communications, bio-imaging, and even noise control. His work had resulted in at least 36 peer-reviewed scientific articles. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had accumulated at least 992 citations, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, he had conducted 13 paper reviews for 9 journals related to the field of acoustic materials engineering. Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “[Client’s] research was responsible for the development of a miniature yet powerful FACS system that features perfectly integrated fluidic, optical and cell-sorting modules. This device, which is already much smaller than conventional flow cytometers, has potential to undergo even more structural transformations and refinements. Therefore, [client’s] research promises to significantly transform both fundamental biological research and clinical diagnostic processes.” 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 acoustic materials engineering, 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 just 9 days.
