General Field: Chemical Engineering

Case Summary:

The EB2-NIW or National Interest Waiver visa is for those individuals whose work is of proven interest to the United States of America. So when we at North India Immigration Law Group got a request to file an NIW petition from a research assistant in chemical engineering, our team started the work soon after signing the attorney-client papers. As an expert in the field, his proposed endeavor was to work on developing state-of-the-art techniques and renewable energy technologies, such as integrated renewable energy structures. He looked forward to combating climate change and addressing ongoing challenges in renewable energy development. Among other applications, his research was evidently of global relevance to reducing carbon emissions by replacing conventional fossil fuel gasification systems and providing unique renewable energy sources by promoting the commercialization of liquified natural gas (LNG) cold energy utilization. Thus, we concluded that his research is of great importance because it reduces carbon emissions and increases energy conservation in many real-world applications.

On the other hand, we also showed that his proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States, since recently, researchers have shown that the United States produces almost 9 million metric tons of hydrogen (for energy use) every year. At the same time, he has completed at least 145 reviews to date and his research has resulted in 19 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored) and 1 conference paper. These publications have also been cited a total of 797 times. Our client has pursued research directly related to his proposed endeavor for 6 years.

All of these pieces of information were very useful in building a strong petition for him leading his case to certain victory. Our team successfully proved that our client’s research on developing state-of-the-art techniques to combat climate change and address ongoing challenges in renewable energy development holds significant value for U.S. energy companies seeking to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emission rates. And this is of significant value to the United States.

When his approval came through in less than 5 months and that too without an RFE, we were very proud of our team’s efforts. We thank our client for his patience and trust and we wish him all the very best in his future endeavors.
