Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for a Postdoctoral Scholar in California in the Field of Physics

Client’s Testimonial:

 

 I am very pleased with your service which was very professional, organized and timely. My process had been done without even one phone conversation, instead all of my concerns and questions have been answered by email in a timely manner.  I was particularly amazed by the accuracy of your understanding of my works which reflects your hard work, experience and carefulness.  Based on my recommendation, couple of my friends have already retained you for their process.

Case Summary:

This time we were given the opportunity to work with an experimental physicist from Iran specializing in semiconductor nanostructures and novel quantum nanomaterials. We submitted extensive documentation proving the high significance of his contributions to his field, including his 17 peer-reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings - a body of work that had received 290 citations by the time we filed his case. The great majority of these citations are from independent researchers distributed worldwide, demonstrating the wide reliance upon and recognition of our client’s work in his field. An independent recommender affirmed the importance of his work: “The significance of this research is that the ability to control the quantum wave function of carriers enables novel technologies and numerous nano-devices based on this phenomenon in semiconductor nanowires….Nanotechnology pervades nearly every aspect of our lives and has become an integral part of our society: from cell phones to food production to national defense. [Client’s] progress significantly advances such technologies and enables us to craft more efficient nano-devices with novel properties.” We successfully demonstrated that our client’s continued employment in the field would benefit the people of the United States as a whole as well as his fellow researchers, and argued that he 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 19 days.
