Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group’s client with whom we worked in this case was a device engineer from Taiwan. His specific focus had been on new methods for the production of robust, uniform, cost-effective nanostructures and nanocomposites. We successfully showed that his continued employment in the field would benefit the interests of the United States as a whole through the intrinsically meritorious nature of his work, as well as benefitting those in his field. In order for our client’s case to be approved, we submitted extensive documentation of his contributions to the field and proof of their significance, including 9 peer-reviewed journal articles and 4 presentations at national and international conferences. These publications of his had received at least 21 citations at the time of filing, most of which were by independent researchers worldwide, indicating the wide recognition his work has received and the reliance upon it within the field. An independent recommender endorsed our client’s work: “The chemistry of a sol/gel coating is adjusted in such a way that only selectively, at the thicker regions of the nanoimprinted pattern, will sufficient silver ion migrate to the surface to be reduced (by a reducing agent presented there), allowing nucleation. The result is the placement of reduced silver selectively at targeted thick regions created by nanoimprinting. … [Client’s] paper points out advantages of his novel processing method compared to conventional lithography techniques (which can involve aggressive conditions that can damage the; device being made) and to self-assembly techniques (which, though using milder conditions, tends to make more defects).” Through this and other documentation, we were successful in our argument that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience, and his NIW petition was approved in five months and one day.
