Case Summary:

Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with is a researcher from the Ukraine working in the field of silicon nanophotonics and fiber optics. This client wished to seek employment in the fields of nanotechnology, fiber optics, and silicon nanophotonics. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of silicon nanophotonics and fiber optics, including 10 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals, 1 book and 18 peer-reviewed conference presentations. This is an admirable record compared to that of his peers. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “Overall there is no question that [the petitioner] is one of the most essential figures in the field”… “I was really impressed with his notable and profuse contributions to the field and have very often cited his papers in my own research works.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 4 ½ months.
