Case Summary:

A chemist based in Arizona waited only 4 days before she received EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition approval. Her research addresses pertinent issues regarding water and energy, and has the potential to directly benefit next-generation, energy efficient water filtration methods through the application of forward osmosis.

In this regard, our client has published 10 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 1 book chapter— outstanding proof of her scholarship. In addition to that, she also holds a patent—testament to the novel and relevant nature of her work. Additionally, all of her publications have been cited a total of 315 times—affirmation of the value of her work by researchers from all around the world. Her contributions to the field of chemical engineering do not stop there; she has been a regular reviewer for scientific journals, and up to the time of her EB1A filing, had performed at least 10 peer reviews.

By incorporating all of the above details and their corresponding supporting documents in the petition packet, we created a strong EB1A case for our client. We also included several recommendation letters that our client procured from other distinguished experts in the field of chemical engineering, one of whom wrote:

“The enormous improvements in water filtration technology ushered forth by [Client]’s research are ideal for addressing such issues. This is one of the primary reasons her work has been referenced so often and in such a substantive fashion.”

The swift adjudication of our client’s EB1A petition was achieved with the help of Premium Processing, which is an add-on service provided by the USCIS that guarantees action within 15 days. We would like to congratulate our client on this win, and we wish her the best as she proceeds with the final step of the green card process—the I-485 application—using our complimentary D.I.Y. Packet.
