Case Summary:
With a Ph.D. in engineering sciences and micro technologies and fundamental research experience, undoubtedly, our client possesses the ability to advance in the field of micromechanical engineering. When he contacted our law firm to file an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf, we examined more into his degrees and diplomas, and after thoroughly evaluating his credentials, we established that we would lead him to NIW success and countersigned the retainer agreement.

We intended to prove that he is an essential researcher in his field of expertise, therefore we added essential attributes to his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet. We noted that his work:

- - Cited 131 times by dependent and independent researchers, demonstrating that his publications are widely recognized and relied upon in his chosen field.
  - His contributions to peer-reviewed conference articles resulted in 6 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored) and 7 peer-reviewed conference papers (2 of them first-authored).
  - He has completed at least 3 reviews to date.
  - The National Science Foundation (NSF), the Agence Nationale de la Recherche webpage (ANR), and the Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale (OPE) have supported our client’s efforts in this study. These organizations are dedicated to supporting “all fields of fundamental science and engineering,” promoting “the development of basic and applied research,” and providing “translational research…in the biomedical field…[that plays] a major role in the coordination of health research,” so their endorsement of our client’s work is a reflection of its clear importance in furthering important biomedical advancements.

Moreover, our client’s proposed endeavor is to continue his research on extending current imaging modalities to increase their capabilities to support the development of multi-modal imaging for biomedical purposes, hyperspectral imaging in complex media, and fast-tunable spatial light modulation for imaging and display.

Thus, it should be noted that our client’s education, experience, and expertise in his field, the significance of his contributions, and his record of success position him well to continue to advance his proposed endeavor of increasing the capabilities of current imaging modalities to support the development of multi-modal imaging.

We are pleased that our efforts and hard work, in this case, paid off well in proving that our client’s major contributions in his field of expertise make him an invaluable asset to the United States, thus, he received his NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval in 2 months, 2 days. Therefore, we thank him for choosing the North America Immigration Law Group to represent his case and wish him very well as he continues to advance in his proposed field.
