“Thank you so much. Your team did a wonderful work and I really appreciate your timely work.”
On April 25th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Field of Computational Chemistry (Approval Notice).
General Field: Computational Chemistry
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Associate

Processing Time: 8 months, 7 days
Case Summary:
A postdoctoral research associate in North Carolina hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf. Our client, who obtained his Ph.D. from an American university, has extensive experience in the field of computational chemistry.
Our job was to compile as much relevant information as we could to build a strong EB-2 NIW case for our client. The data that we gathered demonstrated that our client’s work on noncovalent bonds, polypeptide interactions, nanomaterials, and molecular dynamics simulations benefit the U.S. medical and pharmaceutical industries and technological advancements, as his areas of expertise are strongly relevant to the design of various drugs, treatments, and technologies. We backed up this argument by documenting the impressive 355 citations collected from his 9 publications.
To bolster our client’s case, we also included recommendation letters signed by other professionals working in the field of computational chemistry. One of these experts, a renowned professor, had this to say: “Each year, thousands of United States military personnel and also people involved in athletic activities experience shockwave-induced traumatic brain injury. Many more individuals are diagnosed with cancer every year. With consideration [to this] urgent need for advanced brain trauma and cancer treatments throughout the country, and in light of the fact that [Client’s] novel and important research results are contributing to these causes, it is in the best interest of the general American public to encourage his activity.”
Besides the service request that we raised on our client’s behalf after the case went beyond the average processing time, everything about our client’s EB-2 NIW case was smooth sailing. We congratulate him on this milestone, and wish him the best with his I-485 application. Seeing that the I-485 application is the final leg of the green card journey, an approval means finally obtaining a green card.
