Success Stories: Personalized NIW Petition Filed for a Postdoctoral Fellow from Turkey in the Field of Analytical Chemistry Helped Her Attain Case Approval
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you.”
On March 1st, 2018, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Analytical Chemistry (Approval Notice).
General Field: Analytical Chemistry
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow
Country of Origin: Turkey
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New York
Approval Notice Date: March 1st, 2018
Processing Time: 8 months, 3 days
Case Summary:
The field of analytical chemistry has seen much progress since our client, a postdoctoral fellow from Turkey, dedicated her career to it. With numerous achievements under her belt, she seemed like a good fit for EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). Even so, we carefully analyzed her credentials and asked her questions regarding her work to confirm that we could build a strong NIW case for her.
Putting together a solid NIW petition:
Our client’s NIW petition contained an array of information pertaining to her research on the development of novel biosensing technologies. We determined that her work has direct implications for promoting public safety through designing more effective sensors for hazardous materials in food and other consumer products. This is what a fellow expert in the field had to say about the significance of our client’s work to the US: “[Client’s] work is thus a boon to the food industry as it facilitates the creation of improved sensors that are able to be produced and used for lower costs. This is one of the many reasons her research is of value to the United States.” This expert, along with several of his peers, volunteered recommendation letters that supported the approval of our client’s NIW petition. We have no doubt that their advocacy lent a hand in case approval.
Besides recommendation letters, our client’s NIW petition contained data on the 8 times she published scientific articles and the 109 times her work was cited by dependent and independent researchers.
Securing the national interest waiver:
We are pleased that our diligent efforts led to NIW approval. With over 10,000 approved cases in the bag, we are undoubtedly very skilled when it comes to presenting strong I-140 petitions to the USCIS. The approval of this NIW petition proved yet again that our firm has unprecedented insight into how the USCIS adjudicates cases. We thank our client for choosing to work with us and we wish her the best as she continues to conduct impactful research here in the US.
