Success Stories: After getting NIW approval in 2021, once again with our help, Indian materials engineer got EB1A approval, I-485 success is now expected

Summary of the case:

With extensive experience in materials engineering, our client, the materials engineer (R&D) approached North American Immigration Law Group to see if we could speed up his green card process. He had achieved a consistent and remarkable track record of success and influence in his field of study, and he wanted to focus on developing a new sensing material interface and device to continuously sense and monitor small molecules. After evaluating his research background, we concluded that his research into the design and synthesis of smart materials addresses some of our country’s and the world’s most pressing problems, including reducing the prevalence of diseases of the food origin and the development of energy storage technology to meet energy demand.

Additionally, he had received funding from the United States Department of Agriculture. This funding supports projects that advance the agriculture and food industries. Therefore, our client’s research obviously fits this description. Our esteemed lawyers and team have suggested that other standards of proof could be strengthened. In combination with the detailed reference letters from fellow experts that we helped develop and edit, we have built a solid EB-1A case that was approved without an RFE.

Here is a list of relevant points that we added to his petition file:

• We have noted that he has certainly been a major contributor to the field for several years now, his work has resulted in 18 peer-reviewed scientific articles, published in some of the most demanding and influential journals in his field.
• Additionally, his research garnered 605 citations, which had a considerable impact on the field. Citation is a way for researchers to credit sources of information and data essential to their work. That said, this citation survey demonstrates how important his research is to the advancement of studies carried out by his fellow researchers. The impact of our client, and this large number demonstrates a wise recognition of his work within the scientific community.
• Additionally, he has conducted at least 30 reviews for highly reputable journals that only accept work from accomplished researchers who adhere to strict publication guidelines. The role of peer reviewer requires in-depth knowledge of a given topic as well as a perceptive eye for technical inaccuracies in research. For this reason, journals only use talented experts like him.
• Our client’s exceptional expertise is widely recognized by its established peers. Thus, four letters of recommendation were included to corroborate the relevance of his work. One of them said the following:

“(The client) successfully developed a coating system with antimicrobial properties. This is important given that the food industry uses stainless steel to make equipment such as pipes and work tables. Stainless steel is known to carry bacteria in the form of biofilms, which can harm public health. In fact, more than 45 million people in the United States suffer from foodborne illnesses each year, and 3,000 Americans die from them each year. Additionally, foodborne illnesses negatively impact the economy, costing $15.6 billion. Our customer has made great strides in solving this problem, providing the food industry with tools to ensure their equipment remains free of disease-causing bacteria. As such, his efforts are a boon to the American economy and people. »

In terms of benefits, our client’s research is invaluable to the manufacturing industry because it enables low-cost production of materials, which has positive implications for the United States economy. Thus, he obtained the EB1A successful approval from USCIS. We sincerely congratulate him on this progress. Additionally, impressed by our law firm, he retained us for his I-485 applications. We wish him good luck in his future endeavors.
