General Field: Chemical Engineering

Approval Notice Date: April 14^th, 2022

Processing Time: 4 months, 5 days

Case Summary:

As an expert in the field of chemical engineering from China came to NAILG seeking help with her NIW (National Interest Waiver) application. She held a Ph.D. in chemical engineering before applying for the NIW. So, it was clear to us that she was already an expert in her area of research and her work would definitely be of benefit to the world. However, in order to prove this to the USCIS, we made sure to collect the following for a solidly knitted petition on her behalf:

We said that her proposed endeavor is to work in chemicals and fuels sustainability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate global warming.
Her research advancing her proposed endeavor is of great importance because it has deep connections to global goals and priorities that are especially important now and through the next few decades: chiefly, her research is relevant to combating climate change and its impacts, one of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development goals.
On the other hand, she has been regularly invited to conduct peer reviews for 17 authoritative journals in the field.
Her work has resulted in 11 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored) and 1 book chapter.
These publications have been cited a total of 116 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of chemical engineering.
We also presented detailed descriptions of 4 of her key projects as evidence of her contributions to and expertise in the field of chemical engineering.
She also determined her system to be easily scalable for the industrial manufacturing, which would make this sustainable product substantially more competitive against fossil fuels as an energy source.
She has pursued research directly related to her proposed endeavor of improving chemicals and fuels sustainability for 8 years.
Finally, she had also received 2 letters recommending her work in the field from other experts who were ready to vouch for her.

Thus, when her approval came through we were proud of having worked with her. Our team wishes her all the best in every future endeavor.
