Case Summary:

“Because of the broad applicability of [Client’s] work across multiple fields, I have no reservations in stating that his continued research would be to the nation’s benefit. He has completed work that is important to the scientific community and has become a significant figure among his peers.”

This vote of confidence was offered by a well-known university research professor engaged in the field of physical chemistry. He presented our client with a recommendation letter that attested to the value of his work to not just the research community, but to the United States. Several other experts in the field offered similar letters, all of which North America Immigration Law Group collected and placed in the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet that our client hired us to compile.

Our client, a postdoctoral fellow from Taiwan immersed in the field of physical chemistry, is researching the modeling of nanomaterials, bio-membranes, and their interactions with the solvent environment. As part of our legal approach, we demonstrated to the USICS that our client’s work is extremely significant to the American pharmaceutical industry. We also established that only a scant handful of physical chemists with similar skillsets can mimic our client’s monumental accomplishments. Moreover, we summarized our client’s professional experience: his peer review involvement and the 103 citations amassed from his 22 publications.

It took the USCIS less than two months to make a decision on this NIW case. This petition approval is yet another example of our law firm’s commitment to providing every client who walks through our doors the means to get a step closer to permanent residency.
