Success Story: EB2 NIW Approval for a Postdoctoral Scientist in the field of Electrochemistry and Materials Science in 3 weeks
On July 17th, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Postdoctoral Scientist in the field of Electrochemistry and Materials Science (Approval Notice)
General Field: Electrochemistry and Materials Science Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Scientist Country of Origin: Philippines Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California Approval Notice Date: July 17, 2013 Processing Time: 3 weeks
Case Summary:
The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time.
Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a postdoctoral scientist from the Philippines working in the field of electrochemistry and materials science. Her research had focused specifically on the design and synthesis of novel materials for application in a range of industries, including electronics and medical. This client wished to seek continued employment in the field of electrochemistry and materials science. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in her field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of electrochemistry and materials science, including at least 19 peer-reviewed journal articles and a number of conference papers. These publications had been cited at least 127 times at the time of case filing. Of her accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “In summary, [client] has made numerous contributions to the field of electrochemistry that have been of benefit to my own research and to that of other researchers. [Client’s] research contributions have also extended into the broader industrial manufacture of biomaterials with medical applications.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW application was approved in just 3 weeks.
