On September 18^th, 2021, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Associate in the Field of Materials Science (Approval Notice).

General Field: Materials Science

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Associate

Country of Origin: Pakistan

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts

Approval Notice Date: September 18^th, 2021

Processing Time: 11 months, 4 days

Case Summary:

Based on the huge number of successful cases, North America Immigration Law Group has developed the most convincing winning strategies for the NIW category, which enable us to offer our “Approval or Refund” services to many of the NIW cases we take. However, there are certain essentials to be fulfilled by an individual including:

The foreign national must be in a position to advance the proposed endeavor.
The applicant must present evidence that the U.S. would benefit on balance to waive the job offer criteria for an EB-2.
A proposed endeavor, holding substantial merit and national importance.

Therefore, through our prowess and according to the above requirements, we prepared a compelling case for our client hailing from Pakistan, currently positioned as a postdoctoral associate after completing his Ph.D. in nuclear and quantum engineering. His petition packet included the following key elements:

- His work related to high-entropy alloys for extreme applications has great substantial merit and national importance because his work is relevant to increasing the capacity of the energy sector through the use of nuclear fusion power plants and overcoming the limitations of nuclear fission, oil, and coal-based power plants.
- He has been regularly invited to conduct peer reviews for elite journals and has completed at least 20 reviews for at least 7 journals to date.
- His work has resulted in 12 peer-reviewed articles (8 of them first-authored), one pre-proofed journal article, and one book chapter and is cited a total of 142 times according to Google Scholar.
- Fellow experts in the field have provided further detail on the importance of our client’s endeavor to the United States. One out of the four stated:

“[The client’s] research is incredibly valuable to the United States. His research has revealed a novel high entropy alloy composition that boats enhanced oxidation resistance, thus serving as a major advance for manufacturing industries related to automotive, aerospace, and nuclear applications. Given that manufacturers such as these contribute nearly 12% of the country’s total economic output, it is evident that [the client’s] work on oxidation-resistant high entropy alloys is fundamental to the advancement of the United States’ manufacturing industries.”

Consequently, all the prior mentioned key essentials indicate not only that our client qualifies as a praiseworthy candidate but also that his entry will substantially benefit prospectively the United States. He thus got a positive response in his favor from the adjudicating judge and has even retained our firm for his I-485 case. We are thankful to him for his continued belief in us. We wish him good luck in his future endeavors.
