Processing Time: 10 months, 11 days

Case Summary:

When an Iranian expert in polymer science came to NAILG for his National Interest Waiver approval, we knew the route to take to lead him to his NIW victory. So, our team began working on his petition as soon as the retainer had been signed. Some of the major factors that played a role in getting his approval were the following:

Armed with an M.S. in polymer engineering, he is working as a researcher at the time of his application.
His research was on engineering DNA nanostructures through nucleic and supramolecular chemistry methods to advance nanotechnology for industrial and biomedical applications, including photonic circuits for solar cells and protein inhibitors for cancer treatment.
This research advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because it addresses the need for better care for chronic wounds and antimicrobial resistance.
His endeavor also has broad implications for the United States since across the nation an estimated 1 in 5 people will develop skin cancer by age 70, and although the 5-year survival rate for melanoma is 99%, over 2 Americans still die from skin cancer every hour.
This is why one of his four recommendations read as follows:

“[The client] research has developed advanced wound dressings that deliver natural antimicrobial compounds to the body to quickly and effectively treat infections. As such, his research directly helps in overcoming the problem of antimicrobial resistance in the healthcare system, and his work represents some of the most important research being accomplished in polymer science today.”

It was due to the clear national importance of his research that it found support with funding from the National Science Foundation and the Iran National Science Foundation.
Moreover, his research has resulted in 4 peer-reviewed journal articles and these publications have been cited a total of 163 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of polymer science.
Finally, we added that he has pursued research directly related to his proposed endeavor of engineering DNA nanostructures through nucleic and supramolecular chemistry methods for 4 years.

These bits of information aided his case a great deal and led it to a certain victory. We are happy to have been of assistance to him in this process and we wish him the best of luck in his future.
