Case Summary:

One of the few leading experts with proven expertise in the field of advanced manufacturing, formally recognized as a critical and emerging technology field, our client’s continued work is critical to the goal of achieving and preserving the United States’ technological leadership. He approached the North America Immigration Law Group to help him build an influential I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, establishing that he is well-known for:

• Researching on developing advanced phosphorus and biochar agroecosystem approaches by solubilizing phosphorus from insoluble soil phosphates to enhance agricultural productivity and carbon sequestration.
• His work on phosphate solubilization has advanced the field and the work of his peers by providing a sustainable process for utilizing phosphorus that would otherwise be wasted. Consequently, his work represents progress toward his larger goal of advancing agroecosystems for agricultural productivity and carbon sequestration.

His splendid credentials ensured that we countersigned the client-attorney relationship agreement and proceeded with preparing a strong petition dossier to achieve the national interest waiver for our noteworthy client. We highlighted the following important aspects while filing his NIW case:

• His research has resulted in 2 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them first-authored) published in the top journals of his field, reflecting his peers’ recognition of the value of this research.
• His publications attracted 62 citations from a wide audience hailing from well-known international institutions both in the United States and abroad.

Not only did we assist him in devising this successful case but also made sure to compile all the new information provided by our client to be incorporated in his petition to meet the requirements.

Moreover, his work was funded by:

• The National Science Foundation (NSF), this funding is reserved solely for research directed at advancing the national interest, including projects with clearly defined applications and substantial merit, for only the most suited researchers in the field. Therefore, our client’s research advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance to the rising global demand for food.
• Furthermore, he even got 4 recommendation letters in his favor.

As the documentary evidence and corroborating testimony from experts in the field establish, our client is a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. His education, experience, expertise, record of publication and citation, and history of successful research in the field all indicate that our client is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor. Thus, he received his NIW approval despite a long wait.

We truly thank him for his constant cooperation and kind support throughout the adjudication process and wish him good luck in his upcoming endeavors.
