Case Summary:

A recent client of ours was described as “…a leading luminary in the organic semiconductor field.” This statement was made by a well-known research and design manager working in the field of materials science. He was joined by three of his peers, all of whom contributed similar testimonials. These testimonials made up a very important part of our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet. They served as important evidence regarding our client’s leadership role in the field of materials science, and proved that other experts think highly of his investigations and their overall importance to the United States.

Our client, a senior scientist from the United Kingdom, hired North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to help him obtain the national interest waiver. After carefully evaluating his qualifications, we determined that we could build a strong NIW case for him. Besides the recommendations noted above, we also documented the 278 citations gathered from his 13 published papers.

To back up our argument that our client’s research is very important to the United States, we duly accounted for his work on identifying nanostructural properties of advanced organic semiconducting materials that are designed for use in low-cost printed electronic devices such as transistors and solar cells. We concluded that his research results have directly contributed to the betterment of such printed electronics and organic semiconductors, thereby supporting the competitiveness of the American technology and energy industries. Additionally, his printed solar modules research efforts are contributing to the United States’ energy independence.

Immigrant Visa Processing:

Only applicants residing in the US can submit an I-485 application. Those residing outside the country have to undergo Immigrant Visa Processing (IVP). Simply put, applicants will pay the relevant fees, submit the required paperwork, and attend an interview with their dependents at the proper American consulate/embassy. If everything goes well, they will be issued an immigrant visa, which they can use to enter the US as permanent residents. Not long after their entry into the US, their green cards will be mailed to them. To find out more about IVP, visit https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process.html
