Case Summary:

On January 31, 2013, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates gained another approval for an EB-2 NIW(National Interest Waiver) petitioner in the field of Device Physics. NIW cases require the following criteria to be met: employment in an area of substantial intrinsic merit, proposed benefit of work that is national in scope and that without this client’s work the United States would suffer significant loss.

Therefore, we at Chen immigration Law Associates address each case on its own merit; and use proven strategies to facilitate a swift approval. In this particular case, in order to demonstrate the substantial intrinsic merit of this client’s work we drafted seven recommendation letters that were reviewed, edited and signed by the client’s recommenders. To increase credibility, five of these letters we drafted on behalf of individuals who did not personally know this client nor had they worked with him.

In order to argue the national scope of this client’s work, we emphasized his 26 publications, 11 of which he was the first author. In addition, we used analytical software to evidence the influence of his work in polarized light emissions. Moreover, we cited presentations and conferences this client had been actively involved in while pursuing his work in energy technology.

Furthermore, to facilitate an approval for this particular NIW, it was imperative to document why the loss of his work would result in a significant disadvantage for the United States. In order to prove this, we argued that his unique skills in the study of solar energy were crucial for the advancement of solar energy. Finally, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates cited relevant AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) decisions to further document the evidence necessary to gain approval for this client’s NIW petition.

Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition on January 31, 2013.

With this in consideration, it is important to emphasize that the processes and expertise practiced by Chen Immigration Law Associates. Not only do we develop the best possible strategies for each case, but we execute these strategies with the utmost effectiveness!
