Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com represented a postdoctoral researcher in the field of Nanomaterials who had a focus on catalysis applications, as well as nanomaterials synthesis and characterization. Before filing his petition, the client had researched the tendency of small nanoparticles to sinter and become larger in order to reduce their surface energy. The client had also investigated how to optimize the energy that is output by silicon based off of photovoltaic devices, researched a characterization technique that would determine the crystalline structure of a nanoparticle with less than 2nm, and had contributed towards to study of bimetallic nanoparticles and their properties. His research had resulted in 20 peer-reviewed articles at the time the case was filed and these publications had been cited 262 times when the EB-2 NIW petition was filed, clearly demonstrating that researchers within the Nanomaterials field rely on his work. An independent recommender expressed: “This research showed not only the value in bringing a diverse set of characterization techniques to bear on seemingly intractable problems in the study of nanoparticles, but it provided important information for scientists and engineers who are seeking to understand the structure-reactivity relationships of nanoparticles in order to improve upon current methods of catalysis.” This EB-2 NIW petition received approval after 2 months, 23 days.
