Case Summary:

A research assistant professor from India holding a Ph.D. in chemistry chose us to file an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on his account. He was aware that we would assess his credentials before preparing his case. So, our legal team commenced evaluating the provided testimonies by him. We discovered his significant contributions in the field of materials chemistry, establishing his ability to continue persevering with his research work. It was an important task for us to lead him to EB1A victory. We counter-signed the retainer agreement, and our motive was to highlight our client’s accomplishments to the USCIS by adding the following information:

Research Abridged: We learned about our client’s research on electrochemical energy conversion and storage research in combination with his patent record and how his research addresses some of our world’s most pressing issues, including greenhouse gas emission reduction and pollution mitigation.
Citation Count: We noted the 979 times his work was cited by independent experts in the field of materials chemistry around the world, at least in 56 countries, illustrating that his work has been broadly carried out.
Publication & Peer-Review Experience: We detailed the 32 peer-reviewed scientific articles, as well as two patents and a book chapter, published in some of the most distinctive journals in the field. Additionally, we regarded that our client conducted 50 reviews for prestigious journals, corroborating the evidence of actual participation.
In further support of our client’s petition, we added four recommendation letters in our EB1A petition packet obtained by him from other experts in the field stating how our client’s work has a wide background of expertise that enables him to bestow significantly to the field of materials chemistry. According to one of the recommenders:

“Based on [Client’s]already substantial achievements, it is obvious that his future research will be of the highest quality and impact not only his field but the nation as a whole. It is clear that his work benefits from the resources available to him in the United States and should continue to be supported.”

We were able to persuade USCIS of our client’s invaluable research successfully. We congratulate him for achieving the EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition approval, and we would like to thank him for having faith in our law firm to represent his case.
