Case Summary:
A postdoctoral researcher from Nepal hired North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to prepare and file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf. In preparing our client’s petition dossier, we made sure to collect as much information as we could on his work in the field of Physics. We determined that our client’s research is focused specifically on the study of magnetic and non-magnetic materials, and that his findings in his area is of great importance because it increases the ability to utilize spintronics.
Based on Matter of Dhanasar (the analytical framework for assessing eligibility for “national interest waivers”), the USCIS was looking out for the following information in our client’s petition packet:
- The foreign national is a member of the professions holding an advanced degree;
- The foreign national’s proposed endeavor have both substantial merit and national importance;
- The foreign national is well positioned to advance the proposed endeavor;
- On balance, it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the job offer and labor certification requirements.
“As one of the foremost researchers in the field of physics, [Client]has established himself as a leading figure in the study and verification of new, more effective semiconductor materials.”
With our experience of securing over 16,000 I-140 approvals, we were able to persuade the USCIS that our client’s research efforts are contributing to the United States’ economy and he was granted the national interest waiver 10 months and 21 days after his case was filed. We congratulate him for surpassing this major milestone in the green card journey, and we wish him the best for his I-485 application.
