Case Summary:

An assistant research scientist from Ghana engaged the services of North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him attain a green card. Our client, who has a Ph.D. in Materials Engineering, 61 citations to his 9 publications, and years of experience characterizing and modeling battery decomposition processes and improving nanocomposite materials, was suitably qualified to file his case under the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa category.

As with all our clients, we helped this researcher narrow down the list of potential recommenders who could contribute strong testimonials to fortify his EB-2 NIW case. Six recommenders agreed to lend their support, and their recommendation letters were included in the well-balanced petition dossier that our legal team diligently put together. Alongside these letters was evidence that our client’s work is of intrinsic merit to the United States. We established that his research projects directly contribute to the progress of America’s military, energy research, and its marine, aerospace, and automotive industries.

The following quote is excerpted from one of the aforementioned recommendation letters, which lent a hand in convincing the USCIS that our client’s EB-2 NIW petition deserved to be approved: “It should be clear from the above-described achievements that [Client] has had an extensive impact on materials engineering and that his work is significant to the field and extremely valuable to industry. With that in mind, it is of the utmost importance that [Client] be able to continue his research in the United States. Without his continued work, research and development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries would be set back considerably, at great consequence to the automotive industry and the United States.”

We are pleased to note that our client recently retained our services to help him with his I-485 application. We look forward to helping him with this final step in the green card process.
