Case Summary:

“In addition to the scientific merit of his research, [Client] is also advancing the national interest through his characterization of extreme precipitation and drought events in the United States.”

This strong recognition from an expert recommender helped support the approval of our client’s EB-1A petition, prepared and filed by North America Immigration Law Group (Chen Immigration).

Our client holds a Ph.D. in earth and atmospheric sciences and is an established authority in atmospheric dynamics and climate predictions. Client’s work has made significant contributions to identifying and characterizing hydrological extremes affecting land regions surrounding the Atlantic Ocean – research that directly supports global efforts to improve climate resilience and environmental safety.

To build a strong case under the EB-1A category, our team strategically highlighted the following key achievements:

A prolific research record including 22 peer-reviewed journal articles (15 first-authored) and 8 scientific abstracts (6 first-authored), reflecting consistent productivity and leadership in the field.
Substantial scientific influence, evidenced by 288 citations – demonstrating widespread reliance on Client’s findings across the global climate research community.
Significant judging contributions, with at least 30 peer-review assignments, showcasing Client’s trusted expertise in evaluating scholarly work.
Major funding support from prominent U.S. scientific agencies- clear validation that this research is aligned with pressing national priorities in climate monitoring and environmental risk mitigation.

By demonstrating both extraordinary ability and sustained acclaim, we convincingly showed that Client belongs to the small percentage of top researchers in atmospheric science whose ongoing work will continue to advance U.S. interests – especially in water resource planning, extreme weather prediction, and climate resilience measures.

We are pleased to announce that the client’s EB-1A I-140 petition was approved without delay. Our team is proud to support this exceptional researcher in advancing critical atmospheric and climate science in the United States.
