Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) agreed to represent a postdoctoral research scholar from China who sought our assistance to secure EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval. As an information and communications researcher of great repute, our client’s brilliant and innovative development of new protocols for peer-to-peer communication, new models and algorithms for wireless sensor networks, and a novel design of a microgrid energy management system are all noteworthy. In a nutshell, his specialized research on development of applications for wireless personal area networks, wireless sensor networks, intelligent healthcare systems, and the smart grid have collectively contributed to his exceptional professional portfolio.

A preview of our client’s credentials assured us that we could build a strong case for him, and our legal approach centered on presenting a detailed account of his contributions to the field of information and communication technology. The following career milestones were highlighted:

– Our client had successfully published 19 peer-reviewed scientific articles, including 4 first-authored articles, in leading journals. These publications had accrued 75 citations at the time of filing.

– Many of our client’s innovative ideas were also patented: he had to his credit 14 patents.

– As a well-respected scientist actively engaged in the field, our client was also frequently invited to review manuscripts for esteemed peer-reviewed journals. When we filed his case, our client had already served as a peer reviewer for five high-impact journals.

Besides these achievements, our client is also a respected figure amongst researchers in the field. Based on our advice, our client gathered 6 recommendation letters from other prominent scientists. All 6 letters acknowledged our client’s scientific contributions to the US and advocated that he be granted the national interest waiver. A sample taken from one of these letters is listed below:

“As he has made several improvements to WSN technology and continues to conduct important research in this field, [Client] is certainly one of the most highly talented members of this field. Given the importance of his work, and the unique skills and knowledge [Client] has developed through his research, the future of progress in WSNs is dependent upon [Client’s] continued output.”

Our client received notification of NIW approval 10 months and 29 days after filing. Since his priority date is not current, he will have to wait for it to become current before he can adjust his status for permanent residence. In the meantime, we congratulate him on his NIW approval and wish him the very best in his future endeavors.
