Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you so much for the work you have done with my EB1A petition.”
On January 27th, 2026, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Scientist in the Field of Materials Chemistry (Approval Notice).
General Field: Materials Chemistry
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Scientist
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: January 27th, 2026
Processing Time: 11 months, 22 days
Case Summary:
Developing sustainable energy solutions and advanced biocompatible materials requires innovative materials chemistry approaches that can address critical challenges in clean energy production and healthcare applications. This EB-1A case centered on a Chinese scientist in the field of materials chemistry who has advanced the design and synthesis of peptide/peptoid biomolecules, inorganic nanomaterials, and nanomaterial-based catalysts. Specifically, the work focuses on developing stable enzymatic mimetics for lignin valorization and constructing chiral helical nanoparticle superstructures for biomedical applications.
North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) framed the record around a consistent research narrative that was both technically credible and nationally significant: the client repeatedly demonstrated how advanced nanomaterial design can accelerate progress toward sustainable energy sources, validated novel approaches for biomaterial stability and functionality, and engineered innovative catalytic systems that address both environmental sustainability and healthcare needs aligned with Department of Energy and National Science Foundation priorities.
Evidence of Field Reliance and Peer Trust
NAILG organized the record around independent reliance and peer trust, supported by compelling metrics:
- Publications: 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 first-authored and 3 co-first-authored), 3 abstracts (1 first-authored), and 1 first-authored book chapter
- Citations: 249 citations
- Peer review: at least 6 completed reviews for highly regarded scholarly journals
- Funding: Supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy’s Basic Energy Sciences program (DoE BES)
- 7 Recommendation letters
An expert described the client’s impact:
“Given that multiple researchers have relied on [Client]’s findings to advance their studies, he stands apart as an influential voice in the field.”
Beyond the numbers, the petition documented that the client’s work was being used as a reference point by research teams at leading institutions. This widespread adoption across continents and application areas demonstrates that the contributions were not isolated but were being integrated into ongoing materials development efforts across the global research community.
The Result
The petition was approved successfully without a Request for Evidence (RFE), demonstrating the strength of the case and the compelling nature of the client’s achievements. NAILG is honored to have assisted with this petition and looks forward to the client’s continued contributions to clean energy production, advanced nanomaterial development, and biocompatible materials innovation for healthcare applications in the United States.
