Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was an Assistant Professor from India working in the field of mechanical engineering. He had been responsible for many transformative contributions to the field of mechanical engineering, specifically developing novel in-situ nano composites for energy-efficient sliding systems, evaluating metallic and bio materials using nano-tribology, and thermally analyzing composites for light-weight vehicles. This client wished to seek continued employment in the field of mechanical engineering. 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 mechanical engineering, including at least 16 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading field journals or in press; 7 books, book chapters, and reports; 9 international conference proceedings; 16 accepted abstracts in international conferences; 7 conference presentations; 9 poster presentations; and 11 invited lectures. These publications had been cited at least 88 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the recommenders remarked: “[Client’s] work in understanding and improving the high temperature properties of MMCs represents a major breakthrough in the field and has been cited many times in the international scientific community.” 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. His NIW application was approved in 2 months.
