On August 7^th, 2019, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Assistant Research Professor in the Field of Physics (Approval Notice).

General Field: Physics

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Assistant Research Professor

Country of Origin: Finland

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Kansas

Approval Notice Date: August 7^th, 2019

Processing Time: 6 months, 24 days

Case Summary:

The field of physics has seen much progress since our client, a Finnish assistant research professor, chose to dedicate his career to it. Thanks to our expertise and nearly 15,000 I-140 approvals we have obtained throughout the years , we quickly determined the best direction our client’s NIW petition should take. The documentary evidence we submitted proved that our client is working at the absolute forefront physics and that his leadership is facilitating advancement in many different areas in physics. His NIW petition was approved in less than 7 months.

Over the years, he has amassed various achievements such as an incredible number of citation count and publication record. At the time of filing, these numbers stood at 3,745 citations and 39 peer-reviewed articles. He has also conducted 10 reviews for multiple highly acclaimed journals. This incredible number of citations demonstrates the tremendous influence his work has had on the field, and that he is an influential researcher whose opinions are highly respected by his peers.

After we were retained, our team built a comprehensive and personalized petition that focused on his unique skills and strengths. As an expert in the field of physics, our client’s specialized research has focused on light scattering, in particular by expanding his work to the measurements of aerosol particles to learn more about their properties by improving the instrument concept and prototypes that he has developed. The studies of aerosols in the atmosphere is a critical application of physics in today’s world since it is a focus of many interdisciplinary studies, which includes meteorology, planetology, and its industrial uses. We made it our goal to convince the USCIS that his work is important to the US as the various reactions driven by the presence of aerosols within the atmosphere enable researchers in different fields to successfully model their effects.

We further fortified our client’s NIW petition by incorporating recommendation letters signed by other experts in the field. These letters served as subjective evidence that our client’s work has produced major breakthroughs in the field.This is what one of his recommenders noted in his testimonials: “Accordingly, the work of [Client] to study and improve these models remains irreplaceable, as he has drastically broadened the understanding and use of aerosol models and revealed fatal flaws in previously-established work. In this way, [Client] is a groundbreaking innovator and an essential voice in the scientific community”.

We are pleased that we convinced the USCIS of the international influence and widespread implementation of our client’s work. We congratulate him for securing the NIW petition approval, and we wish him the very best as he continues to progress in the field of physics.
