Success Story: EB2 NIW Approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering in 3 weeks
On July 18th, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering (Approval Notice)
General Field: Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow Country of Origin: Bangladesh Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas Approval Notice Date: July 18, 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 fellow from Bangladesh working in the field of chemical and petroleum engineering. His research had focused on the development of alternative fuels and methods of carbon-dioxide sequestration. This client wished to seek continued employment in the field of chemical and petroleum engineering. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his 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 chemical and petroleum engineering, including at least ten peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals and five conference proceedings. These publications had been cited at least 28 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “More in-depth understanding of the phase behavior of liquids is a major focus for scholars studying hydrocarbons transport and optimization, and [client’s] research on this subject is helping to transform our perceptions. [Client] developed a universal liquid mixture model through which equilibrium and infinite dilution activity coefficient could be calculated in the hexane-butanol-water system…These equilibria are used in hydrocarbons transportation to examine solubility, concentration, and dissolution in liquids.” 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. His NIW application was approved in just 3 weeks.
