Approval Notice Date: May 6, 2014
Processing Time: 5 months, 1 day
The client that North America Immigration Law Group - WeGreened.com had the opportunity to work with in this case was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from France. His specialized research had focused on diverse, revolutionary, cutting edge applications in Nanophotonics such as the utilization and development of advanced electromagnetic simulation tools, Raman-Brillouin quantum models, and investigation of optical properties of metallic nanoparticles. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would benefit those in his field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, including at least 12 peer-reviewed articles published in leading field journals, and eleven conference presentations to national and international audiences. These publications had been cited at least 169 times at the time of case filing; this number of citations was even more impressive considering the comparatively low citation climate in the field of physics. The importance of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “This research is of inestimable importance for the scholarly community of any nation, particularly the United States, which is a leader in pioneering optoelectronic technology for information networks. [His] studies allow for the streamlining and thus improvement of such networks through his knowledge of optoelectronic, nanophotonic and plasmonic properties of nano-systems. These are useful in communication and computer systems, and faster and more secure connections can be created through better connectivity on the nanoscale. Such innovation requires that the most knowledgeable and well-trained researchers with a proven history of successful and applicable studies; [he] certainly has proven himself in this regard, and his studies already show much promise for the continued improvement of optoelectronic technologies and communication networks as a whole.” 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 5 months and 1 day.
