Case Summary:

A gifted metallurgical engineer from India engaged the services of North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on his behalf. Our client’s impressive professional and academic performance made him a suitable candidate for this visa category.

With 18 scientific articles and 6 conference presentations to his name, 207 citations gathered from his work, and 26 instances of peer review service, our client’s portfolio served as strong evidence that his work is of importance not only to other researchers in the field of materials chemistry, but to the United States as a whole. Accompanying the data on his achievements were recommendation letters volunteered by other experts in the field. We helped our client select these experts and made sure that they had worked with him and/or were familiar with his published research on materials fabrication, characterization, and surface properties evaluation through diffusion and phase transformation, theory and modeling, and energy harvesting processes. After the selection process was over, we urged our client to contact them for testimonials, and our client returned with six signed letters. Here are several excerpts:

“Since this is an ongoing project and [Client] is working to make this detection method even more effective, this is work that must not be interrupted if we are to be proactive in our attempts to improve public safety at home and abroad. Please consider the lives that this technology is able to save when you deliberate on [Client’s] case.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend [Client] as an elite-level researcher in the field of materials science, particularly surface engineering, nanomaterials, materials characterization and energy storage.”

“[Client] has proven himself elite in every aspect of academic science, designing and completing top-level experiments, publishing those results in high-level journals, and then reviewing and verifying the work of his colleagues in an attempt to determine if it warrants publication.”

We are delighted that our client’s solid credentials and our well-prepared EB-1A petition packet persuaded the USCIS to grant their approval. It took them exactly 7 months and 13 days to adjudicate this case, and we congratulate our client for moving significantly closer to his green card.
