Case Summary:
Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with is a postdoctoral researcher from Korea working in the field of materials science and engineering. This client wished to seek employment in the field of materials science and engineering, particularly as it relates to optimizing battery technology. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of materials science and engineering, including 25 peer-reviewed scientific publications in high-impact journals and 3 patents for his work and innovations. This is an admirable record compared to that of his peers. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “Having been a professional in the field of porous materials and nanocomposites synthesis for many years, I can confidently state that [client] is among the most promising young researchers in the field whose important innovations have led to remarkable advancements.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience.
