Case Summary:

For this EB-2 NIW case, we worked closely with a Research Associate in the field of Materials Science and Engineering. In his research endeavors, our client has focused on the manufacturing and production of metals and ceramics that have diverse and practical applications. His work has advanced the production of synthetic materials, which form the backbone of many industries in the United States, including the biomedical industry, the electronic packaging industry, the production of computational materials, and polymer engineering. His methodologies have not only delivered unique products, but have also formed the knowledge base by which researchers in his field have conducted further investigations. His cutting-edge research has culminated in the authorship of numerous conference proceedings and 10 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts that were published in the top journals of his field. These publications have been cited 73 times by independent researchers worldwide, and the demand for his research has resulted in numerous invitations to present his work at highly distinguished international conferences, demonstrating the global recognition of his endeavors.The importance of his work to the national interest was endorsed by an independent recommender, who stated, “The benefits to [Client’s] methods are significant including an extremely high-density electronic module that consumes very little energy and remains stable at high temperatures. In addition, through the use of these materials this technology can remain intrinsically hermetic in nature and offer thermal conductivities as much as 100 times greater than traditional polymeric substrates […] creating everything from medical devices like bio-scaffolds for artificial ears to rapid prototyping functional mechanical and electronic devices.” Our client’s sophisticated, complex innovations have impacted the United States’ economy through the production of technologies for improved retinal implants, clear polymer coatings, material models, and other practical applications. With the extensive and thorough documentation that we provided, we were able to prove that our client’s technological advancements and continued research have substantial merits for our country and the scientific community as a whole, thus he has served the nation to a significantly greater degree than that of others with similar education and experience. We were met with success when his NIW petition was approved in 7 months and 20 days.
