For this EB-2 NIW case, we worked closely with a Postdoctoral Scholar in the field of Electrical Engineering. Our client’s successful development of advanced embedded hybrid metamaterials has directly benefited our national security, wireless communications, and other applications. Additionally, he has become a frontrunner in biomedicine with the design of an integrated biomedical implant transceiver, making it possible to wirelessly transfer power to medical implants, thereby alleviating the need for costly secondary surgeries. His work has culminated in 6 conference proceedings and 9 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts that were published in the top journals of his field. These publications have been cited 49 times by independent researchers worldwide, and the demand for his research has resulted in multiple invitations to speak at internationally acclaimed conferences, exemplifying the global significance of his contributions.The importance of his work to the national interest was validated by an independent recommender, who stated, “As a fellow engineer, I have been consistently impressed by [Client’s] work and have even based some of my research off his past results. The value of his results is immediately apparent to anyone with familiarity with emerging technology… His work in microwave and millimeter wave imaging is likewise most valuable… ideal for covert military operations… ideal for use in intelligence missions. With the United States leading the world in military developments, allowing [Client] to continue his research there is a matter of clear national interest.” With the extensive and thorough documentation that we provided, we were able to prove that our client’s technological advancements and continued research have substantial merits for our country and the research community as a whole, thus he has served the nation to a significantly greater degree than that of others with similar education and experience. We were met with success when his NIW petition was approved in 6 months and 6 days.
