Case Summary:

“[Client’s] research is instrumental in helping the United States realize its commitments to environmental responsibility and low carbon emissions. [Client’s] development of a syngas production method that emits little to no CO2 is, therefore, a boon to energy production around the world. It enables manufacturers to benefit from the lower pollution rates of burning syngas while nearly eliminating the carbon footprint of producing it in the first place.”

“[Client’s] research clearly fits in with national clean energy priorities in the U.S. [Client’s] groundbreaking research is necessary to continue the national decrease in carbon emissions required to meet our climate objectives within the immediate and long-term future.”

These are 2 excerpts from letters of support written in favor of a Chinese research scientist in chemical engineering. The scientist came to us requesting to file his EB1-A or Alien of Extraordinary Ability petition to USCIS. While the EB-1 category waives the necessity for a permanent job offer or labor certification, on the other hand, it requires the petitioner to prove their merit by giving evidence of their extraordinary ability. This was made possible by our team through the inclusion of the following:

A detailed explanation of his proposed endeavor in the United States.
As an expert in the field, he is especially well-known for his research on the enhancement of sulfur lithium batteries.
He has published extensively and his research has been printed in 15 peer-reviewed articles and 1 book chapter.
These publications have been cited 816 times already making him top 1 % of the most cited authors in his field.
He has also been invited to conduct reviews some 15 times in the past.
He has received 3 major funding from the Ohio Development Services Agency, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the National Energy Technology Laboratory.

All of these evidenced the value of the client for USCIS and proved useful in his approval journey. We are grateful to him for choosing us and we wish him the very best in life.
