General Field: Mechanical Engineering

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Engineer

Country of Origin: China

Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Michigan

Approval Notice Date: March 15^th, 2016

Case Summary:

This EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) case involved a research engineer from China. He hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him get one step closer to American permanent residency. After carefully evaluating his professional credentials, we verified that he qualified for EB-1A. Nebraska Service Center spent 7 months and 19 days reviewing our well-prepared petition before granting their approval. Our client is now free to file an I-485 application, which is the final step in the green card process.

Compiling a Strong EB-1A Petition:

As our goal was to attain petition approval, we had to be very meticulous in our presentation. Every aspect of our job called for attention to detail, leaving no room for error. We tackled the portion involving recommendation letters first. We helped our client select experts in his field of mechanical engineering and counseled him to contact them for testimonials. Our client got back to us with six signed letters, all of which verified the significance of his work to the United States. One of our client’s recommenders wrote, “… [Client’s] substantial contributions to research, his history of success in the field, and the national and international use of his work clearly exemplify that [Client’s] contribution to the scientific community. His expertise is vital to the field and to US automakers.” Besides these six letters, our EB-1A petition packet was also comprised of our client’s professional achievements: the 278 citations gathered from his 9 publications, and the more than three dozen times he contributed his insights to other researchers in his field through peer reviews.

As we needed to demonstrate the value of our client’s work to the United States, we had to carefully review his various research projects on control methods for renewable energy systems in automotive vehicles. Based on what we deduced, we convinced the USCIS that our client’s findings benefit the American transportation sector and boost environmental protection efforts, namely through the improvement of automotive vehicles that run on fuel and batteries.

Story of Success:

We are glad that our diligent efforts in presenting our client’s strong credentials to the USICS resulted in an EB1A petition approval. We join our client as he celebrates this happy occasion, and we wish him well as he continues to conduct investigations in his field of mechanical engineering.
