Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for Ph.D. Candidate in Wisconsin in the Field of Materials Science
Client’s Testimonial:
Thank you so much for your help in filing I-140. I am really appreciated. I have already recommended you to my friends.
On April 22nd, 2015 We Received EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval (Approval Notice) for a Ph.D. Candidate in the Field of Materials Science
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Ph.D. Candidate
Country of Origin: Iran
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Wisconsin
Approval Notice Date: April 22nd, 2015
Processing Time: 4 months, 28 days
The client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Ph.D. candidate from Iran. His work had focused specifically on modeling and predicting the properties of metallic alloys and metal matrix composites, as well as creating commercially-feasible methods of manufacturing these metal matrix composites and nanocomposites. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would benefit those in his field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, including 4 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 44 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “As you are no doubt aware, advances in materials science have multiple positive effects, including improvements to the economic viability of American industry, the provision of better and more cost-effective products to both consumers and government organizations, and the improvement of environmental conditions by means of, in the case of [Client]’s work, the reductions in fuel consumption and decreased carbon dioxide emissions that will result from the adoption of stronger and lighter structural materials” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 28 days.
