Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved in Under 2 Months for Engineering Physicist from Taiwan in the Field of Electrical Engineering

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you very much for your effort to help me through the immigration petition. I’m surprised that the approval comes so fast without any Request for Evidence (RFE). It seems like that overall processing time for my case is around 60 days—that is 100 days shorter than average processing time of I-140 EB2-NIW in Texas Service Center.”

On April 14^th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Engineering Physicist in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).

Case Summary:

With a doctorate in electrical engineering and many years of experience working in the same field, our client (an engineering physicist from Taiwan) had suitable qualifications to file his I-140 petition under EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). After carrying out a thorough evaluation of our client’s credentials, we initiated an attorney-client relationship and immediately got to work building a strong case. Here are some of the points that we focused on:

We noted our client’s extensive publication record: 15 peer-reviewed journal articles (8 of them first-authored), 1 book chapter, and numerous conference presentations.
The 256 times that his work was cited by other researchers working in the field was also highlighted. Our client’s outstanding citation record signified the value of his insights to other researchers who are also progressing the field of electrical engineering.
The research summary provided by our client helped us build a strong case on his behalf. The summary contained details on his various research projects focused on designing more efficient and better performing gallium-nitride-(GaN)-based light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, by increasing their luminous efficiency. We carefully reviewed the research summary and concluded that our client’s work contributes to the United States’ environmental policies and the economy by reducing energy consumption and shrinking energy costs. We also determined that not many other electrical engineers have contributed as much as he has to the nation.
To make our case even stronger, we incorporated recommendation letters signed by other experts in the field, one of whom noted that “The ground-breaking nature of his research and his outstanding knowledge of electrical engineering further reveal that [Client] possesses an unmatched talent, marked by his ability to conduct creative and externally valid research studies. Consequently, I feel it would be difficult to locate another scientist who could adequately mirror these talents. Given the abundance of [Client’s] accolades and the success associated with his completed works, I feel that he will only increase the quality and impact of his research endeavors as his career goes on.”
Our client’s Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering served as evidence that he is a professional who is equipped with the necessary knowledge and experience to carry out important research in the field.
