“Thank you for your phenomenal work, ChenAssociates! Working with you was so smooth because you were very dedicated and professional about the process. I have been recommending Wegreened for other colleagues interested in applying for the green card.”
On September 24th, 2024, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a PhD student in the Materials Engineering field (Approval Notice).
General Field: Materials Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: PhD student
Country of Origin: South Korea
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Pennsylvania
Approval Notice Date: September 24th, 2024
Processing Time: 5 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
Our client, a PhD student from South Korea, sought our team's assistance in creating a persuasive case for USCIS. Impressively, he received approval for his EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition within just five days. The approval notice showcases our effectiveness in fulfilling his expectations and presenting a solid case. To support his application, we compiled a tailored petition packet that outlined his academic accomplishments and credentials.
Our client holds a Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E) in Nanotechnology, indicating his advanced degree. His research primarily focuses on advancing a patterned CVD synthesis method for foundries and developing 2D material semiconductor applications. To further support the petition, we highlighted our client’s achievements as follows:
- Our client’s research has resulted in 7 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them firstauthored), 2 abstracts, and 2 technical reports (1 of them first-authored), with 6 of the articles published in highly ranked peer-reviewed journals.
- Our client’s publications have been cited 85 times according to Google Scholar, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of Materials Engineering.
- Our client’s study has received funding from the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF). This funding supports projects that advance research for improving the quality of life, therefore, our client’s research aligns with the NRF’s goals.
“As seen from the significance of {client’s} findings in elucidating the role of interface structure in enhancing material strength, the impact on material design and optimization, and the invaluable insights it provides for developing ultra-strong materials, it is clear that he is operating at the forefront of materials science research. This track record also demonstrates his ability to continue producing works of significance, making it imperative that he is provided with the necessary resources and support to continue his research uninterrupted.”
With a strong case, our client was able to secure the approval in a short time, with help from our dedicated legal team and Premium Processing. We wish our client continued success and hope to see even more groundbreaking outcomes from his research.
