Case Summary:

When our client sought to advance her research and career in the United States, she partnered with The North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to guide her through the National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition process. Her proposed endeavor focuses on investigating the growth of molybdenum disulfide based on liquid precursors, a breakthrough approach aimed at improving production methods and advancing the integration of this promising semiconductor into next-generation power-generating sensors. Our client’s work not only addresses critical challenges in scalable semiconductor manufacturing but also strengthens U.S. leadership in the global semiconductor market.

At a time when the United States is prioritizing semiconductor innovation for both technological and national security reasons, NAILG recognized the significance of our client’s contributions. The firm worked closely with her to build a compelling petition that framed her achievements within the broader context of national priorities, highlighting her impact on both scientific advancement and economic competitiveness.

Her scholarly achievements include:

❖ Authored 5 peer-reviewed journal articles, 3 peer-reviewed conference articles, and 1 abstract.
❖ Her publications have been cited 89 times, reflecting the influence and relevance of her research.
❖ Completed at least 8 peer reviews
❖ Secured competitive research funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), and the New York State Center of Excellence in Materials Informatics.

Her innovative techniques for enhancing electron transport and analyzing two-dimensional semiconductor materials have far-reaching implications. As one leading expert wrote in support of her petition:

“In summary, [client]’s pioneering research has provided innovative techniques for enhancing the transport of electrons and analyzing two-dimensional semiconductor materials. The widespread applicability of her findings to electrical engineering initiatives demonstrates the profound value of her research. As a prolific contributor to her field, [client] stands as a critical figure in electrical engineering, advancing both scientific understanding and practical solutions to pressing challenges across the U.S. I strongly advocate [client]’s petition for U.S. permanent residency.”

NAILG’s strategic approach extended beyond cataloging publications and citations. The team crafted a narrative that clearly connected our client’s technical innovations to urgent national needs, emphasizing how her research advances U.S. competitiveness, supports energy-efficient technology, and contributes to semiconductor supply chain resilience. This comprehensive strategy ensured the petition met the stringent requirements of the NIW process.
