Case Summary:

The USCIS or the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is the government agency tasked with naturalization and immigration services. We at North America Immigration Law Group have been working very closely with the USCIS since our inception. It means that we have come to understand the inner workings of the adjudication process over time. Thus, any changes that happen in the process at any time are well known to us. This helps us keep our clients stay ahead of others in the process.

We at NAILG have over the years, built an efficient team of employees who cater to various requirements of our clients, who come from diverse backgrounds and hail from all over the world. These teams help the clients in sorting out their needs and prioritizing their demands and finally help them in strategizing the best move forward. Beyond this, we help them in their case preparation and customization. This is made possible by including the following in their petition packet:

• Updated CVs
• Transcripts
• Copies of academic certificates
• Funding Sources
• Letters of Recommendation
• Evidence of further job opportunities
• List of peer-reviewed publications and citations

So when in September of 2020, an expert in the field of chemical engineering, a Russian visiting research associate approached us to help her file NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, we were quick to follow the set steps in building her a winning application. For this task, we included the following in her petition packet:

• We showed that her proposed endeavor related to the development of methods for material recycling has great substantial merit and national importance.
• We also showed that this research is specifically valuable for the interests of the United States, where quartz sand plays a key role in the development of industrial materials, consumer electronics, and other advanced devices.
• We highlighted that her research has resulted in 33 peer-reviewed journal articles (7 of them first-authored), 19 peer-reviewed conference papers (5 of them first-authored), 8 conference abstracts, and 1 book chapter.
• We referenced how these publications have come to be cited a total of 80 times according to Google Scholar.
• We also showed that her work has come to be utilized by multiple companies to develop working models to manage waste and in other metallurgical processes.
• Along with these, we used 4 letters of support of which 2 quotes are referenced below:

“The U.S. and other countries directly benefit from the environmental and economic implications of [the client’s] work. In developing new ways to utilize recycled waste materials, [client] has produced technologies that benefit the national economic and environmental interests, no small feat when one considers that the two are often framed as mutually exclusive in the contemporary discourse.”

“[Client’s] exceptional research has consistently been published in leading academic journals. To date, she has published 14 textbooks, including Laboratorial Manual for General Chemistry. This publication history demonstrates that [the client] is at the top of her field in shaping both the generation and teaching of new scholarship within the chemical engineering community.”

As is evident from these information pieces, her career has been inspiring and this is exactly what perhaps made her case a success. We are proud of having been a part of this journey.
