Case Summary:

We are delighted to be a part of this success story, as our client, a process engineer from China working in the field of materials science, secured his I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition approval. At the time he hired North America Immigration Law Group to help him file the NIW petition, his work and research had:

4 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them first-authored and 1 of them co-first-authored), he published in the top journals and conferences in his field, reflecting his peers’ recognition of the value of this research.
His publications have been cited a total of 219 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of materials science.
He has completed at;east 3 reviews to date.

Our incredibly adapting team members helped him complete the I-140 process by accumulating the most essential information to put in his petition packet:

We confirmed that his proposed endeavor is to study the chemical properties of polymers and semiconductors for advanced microelectronics and renewable energy production technologies.
His research related to studying the fundamental chemical properties of both polymeric and semiconductor materials to facilitate technologies for state-of-the-art microelectronics and renewable energy production has great substantial merit and national importance.
Among other applications, his research is relevant to meeting the rising global demand for smart devices and automobiles, as well as advancing microelectronics and renewable energy production technologies.
Moreover, he obtained four recommendation letters for his petition packet. Out of those, one of the excerpts is mentioned below:

“His multi-disciplinary expertise in materials science places him as a leading researcher in the scientific field, making his research endeavors unquestionably needed in the United States. Thus, it is essential to ensure he continues to conduct his important research without any interruptions.”

All the above factors thus contribute towards seeing our client as very knowledgeable in the field and an expert in topics related to his proposed endeavor.

Thus, he has provided independent researchers from around the world with useful approaches to the study of complex topics within the field of materials science. That other researchers consistently look to his methods and findings to inform and guide their own studies indicates that he is well positioned to make further useful discoveries in the field of materials science.

These facts, aided by the excellent case preparation strategy employed by our experts, helped him obtain his NIW (National Interest Waiver) application approval even after waiting for long. We are grateful to him for his continued trust in us. We wish him the very best in his life.
