Case Summary:

“In a broad sense, [Client] is investigating methods to make the world a more sustainable place. Her work contributes to efforts in limiting our consumption and maximizing our use of limited resources. Recently, water has emerged as a most precious and scarce entity.”

This statement is excerpted from a recommendation letter written by a specialist in the field of environmental engineering. The letter, included in the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition that North America Immigration Law Group submitted on behalf of our client, was accompanied by five others, all of which expressed support for our client’s research and its relevance to the United States. In this case, our client was a project manager from Singapore.

With a Ph.D. in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, our client is conducting research on water treatment techniques. She has created novel water treatment systems, developed and validated models for reverse permeation in forward osmosis, and derived as well as tested various forward osmosis parameters. Besides the recommendation letters, our well-balanced EB-2 NIW dossier contained facts on the 273 citations of our client’s findings, as well as summaries of her 3 published papers.

Our compilation proved that no other researcher with similar skillsets can accomplish what our client has, and the USCIS responded by approving both her I-140 and I-485. North America Immigration Law Group joins our client in celebrating the issuance of her green card, and we wish her all the best in her research efforts in the United States.
