On November 12^th, 2014, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a PhD Candidate in the Field of Materials Science (Approval Notice)

Case Summary:

For this case, we were afforded the chance to work with a graduate research assistant from China whose research in materials science focused on the specialized and significant topic of highly-scalable, low-cost synthesis of functional nanomaterials. His work had led to 18 peer-reviewed scientific articles, a book chapter, a pending patent, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. When we filed his case, leading researchers had cited his work at least 221 times, a clear indication of the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed 35 manuscripts for at least 27 distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. An independent recommender verified our client’s superior expertise: “The method for magnetic assembly of non-magnetic materials discovered by [Client] enables researchers to rapidly assemble non-magnetic objects into photonic structures with the aid of magnetic fields. This important contribution significantly broadens the choice of materials that can be processed into photonic structures by these methods.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of materials science, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in just five days.
