Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with is a graduate research assistant from Dubai working in the field of mechanical engineering. Our client’s expertise encompasses a wide array of research and design skills that have led to the actualization of breakthrough concepts in magnetic bearing devices. 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 endeavor, including 4 peer-reviewed journal articles published in leading field journals and six conference presentations. His publications have been cited 18 times by independent and international researchers at institutions around the world. This is an admirable record compared to that of his peers. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[The Petitioner’s] visionary design offers many advantages, namely a reduced weight, lower component counts, reduced material costs, lower mechanical complexity, and reduced manufacturing costs, all of which provide immeasurable value to related industries.” 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 just 6 weeks.
