Success Stories: EB-1A Petition Was Approved for Chemical Engineer in the Field of Analytical Chemistry in Virginia

Client’s Testimonial:

I know all clients normally write testimonials about you [Chen Immigration Law Associates (CILA)] thanking you for their I-140 approval. Of course I am very excited about my I-140 approval… However, in this testimonial… I would like to thank you more for the great work ethics you have taught me (indirectly). The way you handle clients is something all entrepreneurs must learn. Working with you on my I-140 was the greatest blessing towards my personal development. It was like ‘being touched by an angel’ which in turn changes your life for good. I had turned a bit lazy, however working with you made me active in my life. Working with you was as if I am chatting with my friend on Facebook. Whatever query I had, I got an instant reply. Sometimes I used to feel that you are more motivated in helping me with my I-140 than I am. This would trigger something within me and I would start working more. Who am I to write a testimonial for you? I am not worthy enough to write even one single word about you. Does the sun need a testimonial that it gives light? Does rain need to prove that it enhances greenery of nature? Similarly CILA does not need any testimonial to prove they are changing lives of people. I have no words to thank them. There has been no word coined yet which can describe CILA. Finally I would like to say: What Beethoven and Mozart are for music; Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo are for painting; Marlon Brando and Al Pacino are for movies; CILA is for us immigrants. They are nothing less than a blessing to us…

On June 17^th, 2014, We Received an EB-1A Alien of Extraordinary Ability Approval for a Chemical Engineer in the Field of Analytical Chemistry (Approval Notice)

General Field: Analytical Chemistry

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Chemical Engineer

Case Summary:

For this EB-1A Alien of Extraordinary Ability case, we had the privilege of working with a Chemical Engineer, who has made substantial contributions and garnered international acclaim in the field of Analytical Chemistry. Our client’s research is focused on the development of chemical and biological sensors that can be utilized for electrochemical assays and trace quantity detection. His work addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues in understanding and detecting trace chemicals found in biological tissues. His interdisciplinary expertise in chemistry, biochemistry, and electrochemistry has contributed to the originality of his work and has culminated in 3 books and 11 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts that were published in the top journals of his field. At the time of filing his case, his publications had been cited 393 times by researchers worldwide, demonstrating the global scientific community’s heavy reliance upon his work. Furthermore, he has presented his work at numerous national and international conferences. The major significance of his work was validated by an independent recommender, who stated, “Continued research into the trace detection of chemicals such as pharmaceutical ingredients is vital… Certain antidepressants, when consumed in excess, are not fully absorbed into the body, and the leftover chemicals can be excreted with urine or remains in the blood. These excretions, if not processed correctly, can make their way back into drinking water supplies and aquifers, which presents troubling and possibly debilitating health issues. A study conducted by the World Health Organization…uncovered gaps in understanding, concerning both detection and continued exposure. The drug sensor [Client] developed, among his numerous other chemical sensors, grants continual new insight into the way electrochemistry is to be applied in fields other than its own.”Additionally, our client has been invited to judge the work of his colleagues and other forerunners in his field, and he has served as a manuscript reviewer for at least 25 highly distinguished, internationally circulated journals. In total, he has reviewed over 110 manuscripts thus far. In demonstrating the extraordinary ability of our client and international acclaim for his research, we were able to prove that he has risen to the very top of his field. With the extensive and thorough documentation that we provided, we were met with success when his EB-1A petition was approved in 3 months and 24 days.
