Success Stories: EB-1A Approved for Senior Engineer in Florida in the Field of Mechanical Engineering
Client’s Testimonial:
We received confirmation via e-mail that our EB-1A petition has been approved today. My wife and I have no words to express our relief or thank you enough for all the help you and your excellent team provided us during the entire process. If it were not for your professionalism, my borderline EB-1A case with just 95 citations at time of initial filing and 127 citations at the time of RFE response may never have been approved.
On April 23rd, 2015, We Received Another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) Approval for a Senior Engineer in the Field of Mechanical Engineering (Approval Notice)

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Engineer
Country of Origin: India
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Florida
Approval Notice Date: April 23rd, 2015
Processing Time: 9 months, 15 days (Premium Processing requested; including RFE response time)
Case Summary:
In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Senior Engineer from India in the field of Mechanical Engineering. He had conducted his research in the highly specialized area of heat transfer. His work had resulted in 7 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences; at the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 95 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of his work. He had also reviewed 59 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals. His superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[client] has demonstrated exceptional skills in experimental and analytical heat transfer, the development and use of advanced temperature measurement devices such as thin film thermocouples in laboratory experiments for high fidelity surface temperature measurements, the use of different surfaces to facilitate efficient boiling and condensation heat transfer, and applying heat transfer theory to the development of heat transfer models for accurate thermal ratings of heat exchangers in industrial applications. As a result of these special talents and experiences, [Client] is a uniquely qualified researcher who would be nearly impossible to replace.” 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 Mechanical Engineering, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in 9 months 15 days.
