Case Summary:

Some time ago, a postdoctoral associate with a Ph.D. and a Master’s in Chemistry contacted North America Immigration Law Group to help him file an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition using Premium Processing. Although he eventually received a positive response from the USCIS, the process took longer than expected. They issued a Request for Evidence (RFE) after his petition was filed. In response to the RFE, the team at North America Immigration Law Group convincingly argued that our client met the criteria that would earn him a green card. Our demonstration that our client’s work is vital to the United States resulted in the approval of his I-140 petition, and we are pleased to report that our client is now close to his green card goal

In the petition packet, we included evidence of our client’s many research projects in his field of materials science. We detailed his work on the synthesis of environmentally safe and effective materials and chemical catalysts, and we established that his investigations provide the United States with valuable insights as to how best to manufacture these materials. In a recommendation letter written by a materials scientist in support of our client’s petition, the recommender wrote that “[Client] has received over 150 citations from others recognizing and building on his work, demonstrating the impact and application of his research throughout the field on an international level. His work has guided the research efforts of scientists across the globe, and has helped build up the existing base of knowledge on nanomaterials, polymer nanocomposites, and catalysis…”

We join our client in celebrating the good news and wish him the best in his continued work.
