Client’s Testimonial:

“Thanks for your law firm and the lawyers who prepared my EB-2 NIW application materals. It was surprisingly fast to receive the approval letter!”

On September 1^st, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Assistant in the Field of Materials Science (Approval Notice).

General Field: Materials Science

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Assistant

Country of Origin: Taiwan

Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas

Approval Notice Date: September 1^st, 2016

Processing Time: 45 Days

Case Summary:

Merely 45 days after North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) filed an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on behalf of a research assistant from Taiwan, Texas Service Center granted their approval. Our client, a professional with years of experience conducting research in the field of materials science, was suitably qualified for the national interest waiver.

What did his EB-2 NIW petition contain?

Amongst other things, we focused on our client’s impressive record of achievements in the field. These included the 15 journal articles, one book chapter, one article published online, one U.S. patent, and one published abstract to his name. We also noted the impressive 738 times his findings were cited by other researchers around the world. Most importantly, we detailed his work on the design and fabrication of novel, functional, opto-electronic materials for use in solar energy applications, and in polymer processing methods for use in a variety of areas including fuel cell research, catalysis, and sensors.

To further fortify our client’s EB-2 NIW petition, we also incorporated recommendation letters signed by four other influential members of the materials science research community. One of them stated that “Without [Client’s] continued presence in the field, the research community of the United States will be at a considerable disadvantage, as [Client’s] innovations have led to tangible improvements in solar energy research.”

As we were able to prove to that our client’s work positively impacts the US (especially when it comes to enhancements in photovoltaic materials and their fabrication processes, improved conjugated polymer chemistry and material design, and further research in chemistry, physics, and materials science and engineering), the USCIS was persuaded to approve his EB-2 NIW petition. We congratulate our client for getting significantly closer to his green card and we wish him well as he continues to advance the field of materials science.
