Case Summary:

“There are not many engineers or scientists who are as accomplished relative to [Client] in this field. Therefore, I have no hesitation in confirming that she is one of the leading engineers in her chosen specialty and must be allowed to continue her research uninterrupted.”

This compelling statement was made by an expert chemical engineer. He and several other experts offered strong recommendation letters in favor of our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Our client, an engineer from South Korea, is engaged in the field of chemical engineering and is studying improvements to oil and gas hydraulic fracturing methods, the production of specialized lipid particles for food and pharmaceuticals, and microalgae growth.

North America Immigration Law Group made every effort to understand and account for our client’s research projects. We demonstrated that her work directly benefits the United States oil and gas, food, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels industries. By the time we were ready to file this EB-2 NIW case, we had compiled a wealth of information on our client’s many achievements, which included the 37 citations to her 2 publications, and data on her doctoral degree—which was earned from one of the country’s strongest programs that accepts only the very top applicants.

North America Immigration Law Group would like to thank our client for selecting us to represent her case. We wish her well as she embarks on further research endeavors.
