Success Story: EB2 NIW Approval for a Nanotechnology Postdoctoral Research Scientist in 3 Weeks
On July 11th, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the field of Nanotechnology (Approval Notice)
General Field: Nanotechnology Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Scientist Country of Origin: Pakistan Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New York 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 research scientist from Pakistan working in the field of nanotechnology. Her work had focused in the highly specialized areas of fabrication of magnetic semiconductors and solar cells, novel nanomaterials and methods to create advanced integrated circuits, spintronics, and assistive technologies. This client wished to continue employment in the field of nanotechnology. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in her 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 nanotechnology, including at least 5 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals, 4 conference publications or presentations at national and international conferences and seminars, and 10 pending patents. This is an admirable record compared to that of her peers. Of her accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[Client] is an expert nanotechnology researcher, with an impressive record of accomplishments. Her discoveries have had a large impact on other research projects around the world, and helped to move the field forward on some its most pressing concerns.” 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. Her NIW application was approved in just 3 weeks.
