Case Summary:

Our client, a materials engineer with a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering, plans to carry out more materials science research in the United States. He wants to create advanced materials and recyclable polymers to lessen the quantity of waste and petrochemicals produced during manufacturing, ensuring environmental sustainability. In order to assist him in creating a personalized petition packet for the “National Interest Waiver” (NIW) petition under the EB-2 visa category, he recruited the North America Immigration Law Group. We committed to providing him with all the assistance he required to prepare the NIW case petition, for which we had to give the USCIS proof that our client was unquestionably eligible for a national interest waiver in accordance with the Matter of Dhanasar’s analytical framework.

We listed the following particulars in our client’s NIW Case Presentation:

Our initial focus was on his research’s great importance because it addresses major sustainability challenges in manufacturing.
Also, his study has received financial support from several leading agencies, including the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy, and the National Science Foundation. Hence, his research clearly has significant importance for enhancing agricultural practices in the U.S.
In addition, he published 11 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored), 1 first-authored book chapter, and 1 patent application in 8 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals, gathering 104 citations from independent researchers around the world.
Besides, we noted that his great expertise in the characterization of advanced polymer materials for applications in sustainability also led him to conduct peer reviews for authoritative journals, therefore, he completed 8 peer reviews.
Furthermore, 2 of his fellow experts in the field provided additional insight into the merit of this endeavor, corroborating the significance of our client’s research as it pushes forward progress in creating sustainable solutions for designing and producing Internet of Things devices with minimal environmental impact.

Ultimately, we are happy to announce that once again we were able to demonstrate our commitment to serving our client by tailoring his petition packet to the most recent adjudicating procedure established by the USCIS and achieving the intended outcome. Within 7 days of our filing for his case, our client received his NIW approval. As a result, we truly appreciate that he chose our law firm and included us in his NIW success story.
