Client’s Testimonial:

This is great news. Thank you for the good work. I appreciate the professional service. You guys were awesome.

On October 30^th, 2013 we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Senior Staff Scientist in the field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice)

General Field: Electrical Engineering

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Staff Scientist at a University

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Tennessee

Approval Notice Date: October 30^th, 2013

Processing Time: 55 days

Case Summary:

The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time. In this instance, the case was approved in just under 2 months.

Another exceptional client that we had the pleasure of working with was a Senior Staff Scientist from India working in the field of Electrical Engineering. His work had contributed to the fields of electrical engineering and computer science through the application of his research to medical technologies and procedures, demonstrating that the impact of his work had extended beyond the scope of his own field of endeavor. His work had resulted in at least 7 peer-reviewed scientific articles. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had accumulated at least 225 citations, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced the Electrical Engineering field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, various experts and editors had requested his professional service as a reviewer of manuscripts for publication for 4 top-tier field journals and 4 international conferences. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[He] is an exceptional researcher whose contributions in developing methods and computer software [are] revolutionizing the way deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery and therapy is practiced. His research contributions are an asset to the DBS communities. Based on my work on computer-aided surgery, I believe [he] has made significant contributions with his innovative approaches and findings that have proven invaluable to the functional neurosurgical and neurological communities, especially in movement disorders.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Electrical Engineering, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. Through extensive documentation, we successfully argued that our client met the requirements for an Alien of Extraordinary Ability, and his I-140 application was approved in just 55 days.
