Success Story: EB2 NIW Approval for a Materials Science Postdoctoral Associate in 3 Weeks
On July 11th, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Postdoctoral Associate in the field of Materials Science (Approval Notice)
General Field: Materials Science Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Associate Country of Origin: Korea Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Florida Approval Notice Date: July 11, 2013 Processing Time: 3 weeks
Case Summary:
The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time.
Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a postdoctoral associate from Korea working in the field of materials science. His work had focused specifically on manufacturing nanoparticles and polymers for use in biomedical technologies, ultrahigh density data storage, commercial products, and alternative energy. This client wished to continue employment in the field of materials science. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of materials science, including at least seven peer-reviewed journal articles and four patents. This is an admirable record compared to that of his peers. Of his accomplishments, one of the recommenders remarked: “Over the last seven years I have seen [client] excel and transform from being an exceptional researcher and chemistry student to becoming an authority figure in his own right. Having published half a dozen papers together, I can attest that to the fact that the projects I have completed with him have been the most nationally relevant and influential of my entire career. I have learned a great deal from [client] and I cannot recommend him for permanent residency in this country highly enough.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved in just 3 weeks.
