Success Stories: EB1B Approval for a Computational Fluid Dynamics Senior Research Scientist working at an Institution of Higher Education in 9 Days
On July 10th, 2013, we received another EB-1B (Outstanding Professor or Researcher) Approval for a Senior Research Scientist Working for a University in the Field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (Approval Notice)
General Field: Computational Fluid Dynamics Petitioner: Institution of Higher Education Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Research Scientist National Origin: India Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing: Mississippi Approval Notice Date: July 10, 2013 Processing Time: 9 days (Premium Processing Service)
Case Summary:
Recently, Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with a senior research scientist from India in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which is a highly specialized and niche area of work impacting many diverse disciplines including different areas of engineering (mechanical, civil, chemical, and aerospace), oceanography, meteorology, geology, chemical processing, biology, and medicine. The petitioner was a top-tier research institution. The university acted as the sponsoring employer in this case, proving their ability to pay the beneficiary’s salary. The beneficiary’s research had resulted in at least 7 peer-reviewed scholarly articles accepted or published in leading international journals (5 papers), international conference proceedings (2 papers), along with 1 book chapter, and 7 international/national conference abstracts and presentations. His publications had been cited at least 51 times by researchers around the world, demonstrating the international recognition for his work. Additionally, we submitted several strong recommendation letters from experts and researchers in the shared field confirming the beneficiary’s significant contributions and international recognition as an outstanding researcher in the field of endeavor. His expertise can also be seen in a quote by an independent recommender, “[The beneficiary] has proven himself to be an expert in the field of computational fluid dynamics, most notably in his current research with micro- and nano-fluidics. This field is expanding rapidly with many innovative applications though micro- and nano-sized devices that require a detailed understanding of how fluidics impacts technology on a molecular level. His research offers substantial value to military applications which have been utilizing nano technologies more and more often due to their advantages in cost, surface/volume ratios, size, and weight/volume ratios. It is important to emphasize that [the beneficiary’s] research is one of the pioneering efforts behind the development of comprehensive computational modeling capabilities for micro and nano fluidic systems.” His petition was swiftly approved in just 9 days.
