Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Georgia in the Field of Materials Science
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you so much for this great news. I have already recommended my friends to your firm and will gladly continue to do so in the future.
On January 23rd, 2015 We Received EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval (Approval Notice) for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Materials Science
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: Georgia
Approval Notice Date: January 23rd, 2015
Processing Time: 8 months, 1 day
This time we were given the opportunity to work with a materials scientist from Bangladesh specializing in eco-friendly polymer films, composites, and high-performance fibers. We submitted extensive documentation proving the high significance of his contributions to his field, including his 19 peer-reviewed journal articles as well as 1 book chapter and numerous conference papers - a body of work that had received 152 citations by the time we filed his case. The great majority of these citations are from independent researchers distributed worldwide, demonstrating the wide reliance upon and recognition of our client’s work in his field. An independent recommender affirmed the importance of his work: “[Client’s] work has impacted multiple academic fields...Of significant interest outside academic research is how his work impacts the use of polymer films in the food, pharmaceutical, and nanotechnology industries. Polymer films are often used as packaging for common materials e.g., as digestible coatings around pills and advances in the composition of these films helps create more effective and cheaper packaging….such a wide applicability for one's research is not the norm.” We successfully demonstrated that our client’s continued employment in the field would benefit the people of the United States as a whole as well as his fellow researchers, and argued that he would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 8 months and 1 day.
