Case Summary:
Another success story for our renowned client; obtaining a NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval. A client from China has reached out to us for assistance in filing his NIW petition. As known, the NIW application requires the petitioner to fulfill with requirements as follows:
- The petitioner’s proposed endeavor must have substantial merit and national importance;
- The petitioner must be well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor;
- On balance, it would be beneficial for the United States to waive the job offer and labor certification requirements.
With an M.S. in Metallurgical Engineering, our client is continuing his research on developing new machine learning methods and multi-principal element alloys to enhance materials used in various aerospace applications, including rockets, fighter jets, and airplanes. By increasing the practical utility of multi-principal element alloys in the aerospace sector, our client’s research supports NASA’s objectives, which proves that the study has both substantial merit and national importance. After doing some requirement evaluation, we see that our client has a strong potential for approval.
To assist our client, we have prepared a petition packet consisting of his academic achievements to strengthen the approval:
- Our client has documented the results of his work in 11 peer-reviewed journal articles (6 of them first-authored) with no fewer than 4 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals.
- He has 131 citations to his published body of work, showing that our client’s methods and findings have gone on to demonstrably influence his peers.
- Our client has thus authored 2 papers that rank among the top 10.0% and 1 paper that ranks among the top 20.0% most-cited articles for their respective years of publication.
We are able to secure the approval for the case in just 40 days with the help of Premium Processing. We extend our best wishes to our client for his future pursuits and express our gratitude for entrusting us with his NIW case.
