Client’s Testimonial:

Dear [Chen Immigration Team],

This is fantastic news! The success is largely due to your exceptional legal expertise and diligent work. I would certainly recommend your service the most strongly to any immigrant-to-be like myself, starting with my colleagues and friends.

I think any immigrating outstanding researcher could benefit from your great service, which provides excellent guidance through each step of the process to the end of petition approval, helps to prepare and organize the supporting materials, and finally constructs a petition in such coherent and convincing manner, with relevant evidences that are presented clearly, authoritatively, and right to the point. Your service highlights the knowledge and skill excellence of your client in a magical way, so that the outstanding researcher receives favorable considerations and the immigration priority he/she deserves.

On July 31st, 2013 we received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Staff Engineer in the field of Physics (Approval Notice)

General Field: Physics Position at the Time of Case Filing: Staff Engineer National Origin: China Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing: California Approval Notice Date: July 31, 2013 Processing Time: 9 days (Premium Processing Service requested)

Case Summary:

The client in this case was a staff engineer in the field of physics. His work had specifically focused on fundamental physics, optical science and communications, and computational lithography. His work had resulted in at least 24 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals, 14 patents, and numerous conference publications. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had accumulated at least 450 citations, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, he had conducted 10 paper reviews for journals related to the field of physics. Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “Ultimately, a picture of [client] emerges that reveals a physicist with a consistent history of high-grade results who has introduced new concepts and methodologies of benefit to the future study of physics and to industry. Objectively, if these results by [client] tell us anything conclusively, it is that he is an elite member of the scientific community with a proven capacity to perform outstanding research in the field of physics.” 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 physics, 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.
