Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a systems engineering leader from India working in the field of mechanical engineering. He had conducted significant research on the development of the new generation of emissions control technologies. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of mechanical engineering, including at least 12 technical articles which included peer-reviewed scientific articles, patent publications and conference presentations published in leading field journals, and 5 invention disclosures to his credit for innovations in mechanical engineering. His publications had been cited at least 46 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[Client] has made significant contributions in the areas of understanding particulate matter emissions from engines, the effects of lubricant chemistry on particulate emissions, and the control of particulate emissions with filter and catalytic devices. [Client’s] research has better enabled efficient engines to serve the market and country while maintaining clean air standards and, in general, protecting our valuable environment.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved in just 4 weeks.
