Success Stories: 13-Day NIW and 18-Day EB-1A Approvals for Welding Expert, Thanks to NAILG’s Premium Processing

“Today, my EB1 A application was approved under Premium processing in 15 business days. I am very happy the way the Chen team has worked with me, preparing all the required documents. I always got a reply in 48 hours with clear information on what needed to be done. I was offered regular service rather than refund service, but I do have faith in my credentials and gave it a try.

I 100 % recommend and truly appreciate the way the attorney worked with me throughout the application process. They are very professional, and I will give a 5-star rating to this firm.”

Case Summary:

A recognized expert in the field of friction stir welding (FSW) sought NAILG’s support for his EB-1A petition following a prior successful NIW approval. His work has had a transformative impact on welding processes and joining technologies, particularly in the aerospace, transportation, and sustainable manufacturing industries. Our client’s sophisticated research into FSW has led to novel methods and original discoveries, establishing him as a prominent authority in mechanical engineering.

His contributions include groundbreaking work on enhancing FSW research, improving metal forming procedures, and addressing operational challenges in welding technologies. Our client’s innovations have paved the way for more efficient, lightweight, high-strength materials, crucial for the future of transportation and aerospace industries. His ability to predict the forming limits of unwelded and tailor-welded blanks has provided critical advancements in manufacturing capabilities.

NAILG worked with him to ensure his EB-1A petition highlighted his exceptional abilities and national importance. Our team emphasized his scientific contributions, funding from prestigious institutions, and the impact of his research on critical U.S. industries, ensuring that the petition was compelling and clearly demonstrated his extraordinary ability.

Key Achievements:

● 13 peer-reviewed journal articles, including 6 first-authored

● 27 reviews conducted for journals and conferences, underscoring his standing as a respected expert

● His work has been cited 213 times by researchers in at least 24 countries, placing him in the top 4% of authors in mechanical engineering

● Funding from renowned organizations, including the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the AUTO21 Network of Centers of Excellence, India’s Department of Science and Technology, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration

An expert in the field remarked:

“Considering the value presented by [client]’s innovative contributions to improving welding processes for magnesium alloys, his work has a direct impact on advancing transportation, aerospace, and sustainable manufacturing industries. These sectors rely heavily on lightweight, high-strength materials and efficient production techniques to enhance performance and reduce environmental impact. Halting [client]’s research would hinder progress in these critical areas, limiting technological growth and economic opportunities. It is therefore within the interests of the United States to allow [client]’s research to continue.”

The EB-1A approval granted to our client is a testament to his scientific leadership and the national importance of his contributions to sustainable manufacturing and aerospace technologies. With NAILG’s expert guidance, his case was successfully navigated in just 18 days (Premium Processing Requested), enabling him to continue making impactful contributions to critical industries.
