Case Summary:
A gifted research associate from Taiwan contacted North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) when he decided that he wanted to obtain a green card. He was aware of our impressive approval rates and wanted to give himself the best chance of attaining permanent residency. When an attorney-client relationship was established, we immediately got to work. In preparing our client’s comprehensive EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet, we were sure to include the following:
- Research Projects: In order to convince the USCIS that our client is an asset to the United States, we first had to understand his area of study and research focus. After carefully reviewing his projects on developing new computational methodologies geared toward expanding the capabilities of next-generation supercomputers, we concluded that our client’s findings contribute to the United States’ pioneering efforts in developing advanced materials and energy resources.
- Proof of Capabilities: We delved into our client’s illustrious portfolio to obtain data on the following: his Ph.D. in Chemistry, his 8 published papers, and the 136 citations to his work.
- Recommendation Letters: To further fortify our client’s EB-2 NIW petition packet, we prompted him to touch base with other experts in the field of computational chemistry. We needed our client’s peers to support our claim that his work lends a hand in progressing their research efforts. Five experts gladly offered their support, one of whom stated that “As a fellow researcher in [Client’s] field, I can say without a doubt that allowing [Client] to continue conducting his research in the United States is instrumental to ensuring that the country remains at the forefront of research in computational and theoretical chemistry, areas of study that are essential to the health of numerous industries. Without his continued contributions, the scientific community would feel the significant loss.”
