Case Summary:

Throughout his illustrious career as an optics and photonics expert, our client has accomplished various things. For instance, he has attained much success with his research, which is of great value to the United States. Furthermore, his position as a research scientist has allowed him to continue producing practical and theoretical work of high caliber. Based on his impressive qualifications, our client was a suitable candidate for EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability).

Amongst other things, North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) was responsible for compiling and filing a strong EB-1A petition on our client’s behalf. We took our job very seriously and worked diligently to put together a strong case. We documented our client’s Ph.D. in Physics, his citation count (178 citations), and peer review record (18 reviews conducted by the time we filed the case). We also listed his 14 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 1 book chapter, and numerous presentations at national and international conferences including several invited presentations.’

Although we already had a myriad of information that showcased our client’s value to the nation, we needed other experts in the field of optics and photonics to back us up. We urged our client to reach out to a handful of his peers and request for recommendation letters. He returned with six signed letters, all of which placed importance on his investigations on wave propagation through random systems and periodic structures. Here are several excerpts from these letters:

“[Client’s] research on light matter interactions has been implemented nationally, which is an indication of the influence it has exerted on the greater research community.” Professor, USA

“[Client’s] research increases our understanding of transmission matrices, enabling researchers to build more advanced and more effective medical imaging devices. In doing so, [Client’s] research is contributing towards the efforts to improve diagnostic practices in healthcare facilities across the nation.” Professor, USA

“Repeatedly, [Client] has contributed original research to the field of physics, publishing findings that are wholly original. For this reason, it is widely acknowledged that [Client] is one of the most prominent researchers in the field of optics and microwave radiation. For the sake of the scientific community as well as public health, it is imperative that the United States supports the efforts of [Client].” Professor, Spain

This EB-1A approval is another example of our law firm’s dedication to helping every client get one step closer to their dreams of becoming an American permanent resident. It was a pleasure helping our client come this far and we congratulate him for obtaining an EB-1A petition approval.
