Case Summary:

The team at North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) recently helped a research scientist take the first step towards his green card. We prepared a detailed EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on his behalf and submitted it to the USCIS. Although our client chose Premium Processing, we received the approval notice much later than expected due to the Request for Evidence (RFE) that the USCIS issued. Our legal team’s knowledge and experience, however, make us well-suited to respond to RFEs, and not long after we responded to the USCIS, we received news of the petition approval.

Our client, who is from China, specializes in quantum information processing, quantum communications, and quantum optics. His research addresses some of the United States’ most pressing issues in understanding quantum mechanical approaches in communication and computing. His findings are also applied to a variety of American industries that rely on imaging, sensing, and communication.

To strengthen this EB-1A case, we aided our client in gathering recommendation letters from selected experts in his field of electrical engineering. One of these experts wrote, “The importance of [Client’s] work to the ongoing efforts at improving everyday communication security, national security, and biomedical sensing implies that the possible discontinuation of his research would be a clear loss to the broad national interest.” This testimonial, along with several other letters that we obtained, were included in the EB-1A petition we sent to the USCIS. We also submitted evidence of our client’s peer review experience, as well as a summary of his 17 published papers and 169 citations collected from his work. We are pleased to note that our efforts have contributed to the approval of our client’s I-140, and we wish him the best in his continued research.
