Client’s Testimonial:

“I really appreciate all the help to get my EB1A and EB2 NIW approved.”

On March 22^nd, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Materials Science (Approval Notice).

General Field: Materials Science

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow

Country of Origin: China

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts

Approval Notice Date: March 22^nd, 2022

Processing Time: 2 months, 9 days

Case Summary:

Materials Science is one of the up-and-coming fields in the scientific community. Our team at NAILG has had scores of clients who come from this particular field of study. So we know exactly how to deal with clients hailing from this area of expertise. So, when we got a request from a postdoctoral fellow in materials science to file his NIW or National Interest Waiver petition, our team sprung into action. They swiftly collected the following data to customize his petition:

- His proposed endeavor is to continue his research on developing synthetic biomaterials to capture key features of natural tissues for tissue engineering, drug delivery, cell transplantation, and tissue regeneration.
- His research is of great importance because it advances the development of tissue engineering and stem cell research which provides many advantages for research and clinical medicine.
- Due to its clear national importance, our client’s research has been supported with funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, which are major U.S. federal agencies respectively committed to supporting improved healthcare developments and scientific innovation.
- Our client has completed at least 16 reviews to date, showing that he is seen as very knowledgeable in the field and an expert in topics related to his proposed endeavor.
- His research has resulted in 10 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 of them first-authored) and a U.S. patent.
- His publications have been cited a total of 483 times according to Google Scholar.
- He has pursued research directly related to his proposed endeavor of developing next-generation biomaterials for tissue engineering for 7 years.

Our client thus holds an advanced degree in a field tied to the proposed endeavor, and the submitted evidence demonstrates that he possesses considerable experience, expertise, and a documented record of success in a highly specialized field. We showed that there is a particularly urgent national need for his continuing contributions considering the number of people on organ transplant waiting lists in the United States. We were hence able to establish eligibility for a national interest waiver, and this is why his petition was approved in just 2 months and 9 days. We thank our client for his trust in our firm and for giving us the opportunity to represent him for his EB1-A as well as his I-485 cases. We were delighted to know that he received both his NIW and EB1-A approvals in the same month. We wish him the best in life.
