Case Summary:

The EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) is a subcategory for non-immigrant visas to be given to applicants who can prove that their study has substantial merit and national importance. When a materials process engineer reaches out to us for assistance, we are happy to aid the client. Our client’s study is to develop materials and characterization techniques tailored for engineering applications to fulfill specific needs in materials science and advanced manufacturing. Our team has worked together to prepare a strong case for the client in their petition packet:

Our client holds a Ph.D. in materials engineering, proving that he has an advanced degree.
Our client has authored 1 paper that ranks among the top 10.0% and 1 paper that ranks among the top 20.0% most-cited articles across the entire field of engineering for their respective years of publication, demonstrating the major impact of his original contributions in the field of materials engineering.
Our client’s research has resulted in 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored) and 1 conference abstract.
Our client’s publications have been cited a total of 62 times according to Google Scholar, thus demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of materials engineering.

Our team has also included recommendation letters to support in securing the petition approval:

“It is clear that {client} stands at the top of his field, given his achievements in areas such as the prediction of mechanical responses in photo-cured polymers, his quantification of scratch resistance, and his publications in leading scholarly venues. Ensuring the continuation of {client’s} work is thus deeply important to both materials engineering research and to the United States.”

All these factors are combined to help our client to win this case without RFEs issued. He obtained the NIW waiver in just 130 days, with the help of premium processing. We thank our client for entrusting us and we wish him all the best for his future endeavors.
