For this case, we had the privilege of working with a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of Materials Science and Engineering as our client. He specialized in developing electroactive polymers and ionic polymer-metal composites, resulting in the ability to create better quality smart materials and biomimetic robotics, thereby promoting the next generation of new biomedical and commercial technologies with greater accuracy and efficiency. His work had culminated in 9 peer-reviewed scholarly manuscripts published in leading journals, 3 pending patents, and numerous international conference proceedings. At the time that his case was filed, his publications had been cited at least 126 times by researchers around the world, demonstrating the major significance of his work. The importance of his work was validated by an independent recommender, who stated, “[Client’s] research prowess is directed toward investigations into novel methodology for the production of electroactive polymer actuators/sensors for biomimetic robotics and biomedical applications. Commercially, these investigations by [client] have not only been important to materials science but also hold great economic value in terms of offering new and improved techniques for a variety of medical and scientific procedures.” We were met with success in our aim to prove that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. With extensive and thorough documentation that we provided, his NIW petition was approved in 3 months and 19 days.
