Success Stories: NAILG Helps a Researcher in Physics Hailing from South Korea Obtain NIW Approval in Just 3 Months and 13 Days

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you so much. Without your help, I would not be able to get approval from USCIS.”

On April 13^th, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Researcher in the Field of Physics (Approval Notice).

General Field: Physics

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher

Country of Origin: South Korea

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Illinois

Approval Notice Date: April 13^th, 2022

Processing Time: 3 months, 13 days

Case Summary:

An expert in the field of physics from South Korea with a proposed endeavor to continue developing and driving the Muon g-2 Experiment to obtain sigma discrepancies in order to prove that the Standard Model Theory is incomplete and bring to light the mechanics of previously unexplored physics in nature not covered by the Standard Model, came to NAILG seeking assistance with his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition.

Our team quickly began preparing his petition after the formalities were out of the way. We made sure to use his academic and professional documents for this and collected the following data to prove the worth of his work for the U.S.:

We said that his research advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because it highlights discrepancies in the Standard Model theory, which forms the basis for the modern understanding of how fundamental particles and forces interact. This was explained right after giving the details of his proposed work.
At the same time, his research in the area has resulted in 6 peer-reviewed journal articles.
These publications have also been cited a total of 542 times according to Google Scholar.
His work also holds immense national importance in the United States. For instance, NMR spectroscopy is a critical tool for the oil exploration industry. His work, therefore, holds immense economic benefits for the country.
We also submitted his plans for employment in the field to confirm his commitment and capacity to advance the proposed endeavor.
Finally, his work was also supported by at least 4 letters of recommendation from other experts in the field, one of whom had the following to say about his work:

“[The client’s] frequency extraction methods make NMR technology more robust and easier to use, allowing oil companies to further capitalize on their impressive utility. With proper frequency extraction, researchers achieve a clearer picture of the behavior of their target molecules while placed in the magnetic field. This simplifies the process and drives down the time required to analyze an oil structure. Considering that the United States is the leading oil-producing country in the world and that the value added by the oil and gas extraction industry amounted to 100.9 billion USD in 2020, [client’s] research clearly promotes the United States’ economic interests.”

This meant that our client was a valuable asset to the country and the adjudicating authorities recognizing his worth gave his NIW case a nod of approval. This news was a joyous one for both us and the client, especially since the approval came through in less than 4 months.
