Processing Time: 2 months, 24 days


Case Summary:

The I-140 NIW category of nonimmigrant visa is for those individuals who can prove that their work or research is of evident value to the United States. This is where our firm North America Immigration Law Group comes in. We help our clients to file petitions at the USCIS for EB1, EB2, O1/O2, and several other immigrant and nonimmigrant visa types. Whenever we are approached by anyone to file a case on their behalf, we make sure to personalize their application with the following information:

  • Details of their research endeavor
  • Publication and citation details
  • Peer review experience
  • Funding information
  • Letters of recommendation from experts etc.
In December 2021, an expert in materials engineering, approached us to file his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. His proposed endeavor was to continue his research on state-of-the-art novel energy materials for lithium-metal and lithium-sulfur batteries, thin film solar cells, and advanced sensors to improve energy generation and storage technologies. Knowing that his research is of great importance because it contributes to the development of renewable sources of energy and, by extension, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, our team made sure that the adjudicating authorities could see the benefits of allowing him to continue his work on American soil. To ensure this we included 4 letters of recommendation from clients, two of which are quoted below:

“[The client] is a fantastic researcher whose work fills a distinct need in the development of materials, emerging at the forefront of the engineering community.”

“[The client], with his research into materials and his focus on solutions facing the energy market, is a premier scientist. His contributions cannot be understated, and he has made an impact on the community through his dedicated development of novel solutions.”

Along with this, we said in the petition that he had a recorded history of academic and professional excellence, which we proved by showing that his research has resulted in 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored) and 3 conference papers (3 of them first-authored), and these publications have also been cited a total of 123 times according to Google Scholar.

Thus, when we received his NIW approval in a short span of 2 months and 24 days, we were overjoyed to convey to him the news. We are glad to have been of aid to him in this process and we thank our team of experts for their efforts.
