Case Summary:

In this case, North America Immigration Law Group was given the opportunity to work with an experimental physicist from Nepal whose research was particularly focused on conducting computational and experimental studies of organic semiconductor device materials. We showed that his continued employment in his field would benefit both his field in particular and the populace of the United States as a whole. His work had been published in 7 peer-reviewed journal articles as well as being presented at numerous conferences. At the time we filed his case, these publications had received no fewer than 25 citations from independent researchers around the world, a strong testament to the wide reliance upon this research in the field as well as the broad recognition it has received. An independent recommender emphasized the importance of our client’s work: “[Client] is having a growing impact in areas of research that are rapidly gaining importance in the United States, such as renewable energy sources and the use of organic materials for semiconductor fabrication. It is my opinion that we need talented and driven researchers such as [Client], particularly as we attempt to extend our footing in the global semiconductor market and the search for renewable energy sources becomes more pressing.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 12 days.
