Success Stories: An Indian Scientist in Chemical Engineering Wins NIW Approval Without RFE, Thanks to Our Team’s Case Preparation Strategy
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you very much for all the help.”
On February 1st, 2023, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Scientist in the Field of Chemical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Chemical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Scientist
Country of Origin: India
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: February 1st, 2023
Processing Time: 4 months, 20 days
Case Summary:
An expert in the field of chemical engineering, with a proposed endeavor to enhance the performance of biochemical and DNA synthesis chemistry reactions and to develop a benchtop DNA chemistry synthesis platform that reduces time, cost, and waste involved in existing twenty-year-old technology came to our firm for his National Interest Waiver (NIW) case. His work was aimed at catalyzing growth and progress in the advancement of science for vaccine development, pharmaceuticals, gene therapy, agriculture, diagnosis, cancer treatments, and aquaculture. This made it evident to us that his work was of value to the country and the globe. So while putting together his petition, we said the same and supported it with the following arguments:
- His research advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because it helps improve the production, catalysis, and reaction processes of chemical reactions ranging from DNA synthesis to industrial production of feedstock and cooking oils. More broadly, his work has addressed ongoing sustainability issues in the chemical manufacturing industry in general through the production of environmentally beneficial catalysis processes.
- His proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States since the disease burden of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and dementia are all rising in the United States, as are less fatal but problematic chronic diseases such as diabetes.
- His research has also resulted in 5 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored) which have been cited a total of 40 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of chemical engineering.
- Moreover, he has demonstrated success in the field of chemical engineering, a discipline that has been identified by the National Science and Technology Council as an emerging or critical technology area.
- On the other hand, he has obtained letters of recommendation from 2 other experts who valued his work and appraised it.
We are glad we could help our client and we thank him for choosing our firm to represent him.
