Case Summary:

Wherever we receive an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) client, we make sure to first inform them about the process of application, adjudication, and approval before taking them on. Once we have signed the retainer agreement with them, we make sure to do a background search and dig up every relevant information to be used in their petition. So when a client from China came to us for his NIW application we made sure to follow these steps and collect the following items for his I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) application:

As an expert in the field of chemistry, his proposed endeavor was to continue his research on designing and synthesizing functionalized nanomaterials such as biocompatible gold, magnetic nanocrystals, and luminescent quantum dots for diverse applications including enhancing biological research and manufacturing advanced optical devices.
His work promotes the progress of the global nanotechnology industry and is thus of great importance.
He has been a vital contributor to the global nanotechnology industry through his research into areas such as stabilizing gold nanostructures via the application of novel polymer coatings, developing ligands for coating nanocrystals, and stabilizing perovskite quantum dots.
He has provided the United States with invaluable technological advances in nanoparticles and nanomaterials as a major component of the growing national nanotechnology industry. Given the ongoing nationwide governmental and private support for research into nanotechnology, it is clear that the United States requires the work of our client, as his developments in the field of chemistry continue to provide the nation with unique and critically significant progress in nanomaterials and nanoparticles.
Due to its clear national importance, his research has in fact been supported with funding from the NSF, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), the Asahi Kasei Corporation, the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the National Basic Research Project of China.
He has completed at least 8 peer reviews to date and since only the most highly esteemed researchers in the field are invited to evaluate the work of their peers, especially in authoritative journals, it is clear that he is seen as very knowledgeable in the field and an expert in topics related to his proposed endeavor.
Finally, his research has resulted in 10 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored), which have been cited at least 163 times.
He has been pursuing research directly related to his proposed endeavor for 7 years and has thus gathered immense knowledge over the years.
His 2 letters of recommendation, one each from a dependent and an independent scholar in the field testified to his extraordinary ability further.

Thus, when his approval was granted, we were joyous. We are glad to have been of assistance to him and we look forward to further collaborations with him in the future.
