Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved in 7.5 Months for Research Scientist from Iran in the Field of Theoretical Physics
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you for your delivery of good news and for representing my case. It has been a delightful experience to work with you. As a result, I have already introduced several friends of mine to your firm, some of whom you are already representing.”
On March 25th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Petitioner in the Field of Theoretical Physics (Approval Notice).
General Field: Theoretical Physics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Scientist
Country of Origin: Iran
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas
Approval Notice Date: March 25th, 2016
Processing Time: 7 months, 13 days
A research scientist working in the field of theoretical physics approached North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) when he decided that he wanted to become an American permanent resident. With a Ph.D. in Physics and extensive experience researching the accurate detection, identification, and quantification of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) as reliable cosmological tools for understanding the physics of the universe, our client had suitable qualifications to file his I-140 petition under EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver).
One of the first things we did was prompt our client to obtain recommendation letters from other influential physicists. We needed their support to prove to the USCIS that our client’s work is of great value not only to the field, but to the United States as a whole. Our client successfully persuaded five experts to lend their support, all of whom contributed strong recommendation letters that advocated for the approval of his EB-2 NIW petition. Here are a couple of excerpts:
“. . . [Client] has been making pivotal advancements in high energy physics, bioinformatics, and petroleum engineering, to name a few of the many disciplines he has so far influenced. His current work involves theoretical physics.”
“. . . [Client] has had an incredibly significant influence on the scientific sphere here in the United States, and his studies have set the precedent for others tasked with documenting the cosmos.”
Alongside these letters was comprehensive information on our client’s various professional pursuits. For instance, we noted his 8 peer-reviewed journal articles and 13 conference presentations, and the 94 citations amassed from his research findings. We used what we learned to prove to the USCIS that not many other researchers with similar qualifications possess the knowledge and skills to conduct such impactful research.From the date we filed our client’s EB-2 NIW petition right up to the date it was approved by Texas Service Center, our client waited 7 months and 13 days. We congratulate him for surpassing this significant hurdle in the green card process and we wish him well as he continues to advance the field of theoretical physics.
