For this EB-2 NIW case, we had the privilege of working with a Technical Service Manager, who has made substantial contributions and garnered international acclaim in the field of Chemical Engineering. In his research endeavors, he has focused specifically on biological nutrient removal in wastewater treatment facilities. While working with a private company, he has provided analysis of wastewater treatment facilities all over the United States and has provided models for the environmentally sound optimization of such facilities. The originality of our client’s work has culminated in the authorship of one book chapter and 9 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts that were published in the top journals of his field. At the time of filing his case, his publications had been cited 37 times by researchers worldwide, demonstrating the global scientific community’s heavy reliance upon his work. Furthermore, his work has been presented and discussed at internationally renowned conferences. The major significance of his work was endorsed by an independent recommender, who stated, “[Client’s] advanced bioreactors provide a number of advantages when compared with activated sludge systems. Not only do they save energy, but they require smaller volume, produce less sludge, are able to handle both soluble and particulate wastes, and provide potential reduction in organic carbon requirements due to the enhanced utilization of particulate substrates as a result of better entrapment in the fluidized bed as well as the use of decaying biofilm as a carbon source.” With the extensive and thorough documentation that we provided, we exhibited the immeasurable value of our client’s contributions to the current state of wastewater treatment and water safety in the United States, directly supporting programs for the Environmental Protection Agency. We were able to prove that our client’s social and scientific advancements and continued research have substantial merits for our country and the scientific community as a whole, thus he has served the nation to a significantly greater degree than that of others with similar education and experience. We were met with success when his NIW petition was approved in 8 months and 4 days.
