Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for Postdoctoral Fellow in Georgia in the Field of Polymer Engineering
Client’s Testimonial:
This is amazing news for me. I really appreciate your work and help. Thank you so much. :)
On January 12, 2015, We Received EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval (Approval Notice) for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Polymer Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow
Country of Origin: Taiwan
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: Georgia
Approval Notice Date: January 12th, 2015
Processing Time: 8 Months, 27 Days (Including RFE Response Time)
In this case we were offered the opportunity to work with a Taiwanese postdoctoral fellow whose research had focused specifically on computational chemistry and polymer science. As part of our successful strategy for our client’s case, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, which included 7 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers and presentations. This work had received at least 172 citations by the time we filed his case, nearly all of which were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating the wide recognition of and reliance upon our client’s work in his field. We also showed that his continued employment in his field would benefit both his field as a whole and the people of the United States in general. An independent recommender confirmed the importance of his work: “More narrowly, in enhancing organic conductors, [Client] enhances the mechanisms that power organic photovoltaic cells. These solar cells represent the most avant-garde motions towards renewable energy and the mitigation of climate change in the United States... [Client] uncovered a hierarchy of what bilayer structures are most useful under different conditions in OPVs. The benefits of this research translate directly into economical savings for countries like the U.S. that currently endeavor to efficiently harness the most optimal sources of clean energy.” We 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 eight months and twenty-seven days.
