Case Summary:

A Turkish postdoctoral researcher in the field of Synthetic Organic Chemistry hired North Americam Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to file an NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition for him. After months of working closely with our client, we filed a customized NIW petition that highlighted our client’s various achievements which includes 5 peer-reviewed journal articles and 11 peer-reviewed abstracts in his name, and the 19 times his work were cited. His case was approved in less than 11 months.

Prior to drafting the petition letter, our team carefully went through his credentials to gather detailed information related to his research. Our client’s specialized research in synthesizing new materials regarding the microscopic nature and utilities of chemical substances greatly benefited a number of US industries including aerospace, electronics, medical devices, and automotive engineering. Specifically, the organic compounds synthesized and characterized by him are able to drive significant economic growth due to their use in numerous manufactured goods; in fact, our client has proposed effective solutions to reducing environmental pollution, targeting cancer cells, and decreasing environmental waste, which underscore the multiplicity of benefits offered by his work with organic compounds.

In addition, the 6 recommendation letters our client collected from leading experts in his field shed light on his academic merit, recognized not just nationally but internationally. According to one of the recommenders: “[Client]’s work on this and many other projects is characterized by an extraordinary level of diligence and innovation, and as a result he has developed original solutions to some of the most challenging problems facing chemical engineers today.”

Despite that the USCIS issued a Request for Evidence (RFE), our team effectively and successfully dealt with all hesitations about our client’s qualifications. We are pleased that our rigorous efforts paved the way for his NIW approval. We congratulate our client for completing this significant first step in the green card process, and we thank him for also retaining our firm’s I-485 services for him and his spouse.
