Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved in only 1 Month and 10 Days for Laboratory Scientist in Massachusetts in the Field of Nanomaterials Chemistry
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you for your message, happy to hear that.”
On April 14th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Laboratory Scientist in the Field of Nanomaterials Chemistry (Approval Notice).
General Field: Nanomaterials Chemistry
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Laboratory Scientist
Country of Origin: Russia
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts
Approval Notice Date: April 14th, 2016
Processing Time: 1 month, 10 days
The USCIS only spent 1 month and 10 days reviewing our client’s EB-2 NIW petition before granting their approval. Our client, a laboratory scientist from Russia, possessed the necessary credentials to qualify for the national interest waiver. Here are some of the petition’s key points:
- Research Results: Our client’s Ph.D. in Chemistry and many years of experience in the field of nanomaterials chemistry have armed him with the knowledge needed to carry out various successful research projects on the development of nanomaterials for their biomedical applications. After reviewing the research summary that our client sent us, we determined that his work contributes to the United States’ rapidly expanding nanomedicine industry.
- Recommendation Letters: To support our argument that our client’s work is important to the U.S. and that only a scant handful of researchers can attain research results of such high caliber, our client reached out to other experts in his field. He asked them to contribute recommendation letters, and six of the experts whom he approached agreed to lend their support. Here is what one of them had to say: “[Client’s] published work demonstrates that he is a pioneer at the forefront of chemistry and I anticipate that he will continue to perform research at this admirable level. I firmly believe that restricting the work of such an accomplished scientist would gravely impede the advancement of the entire field of nanotechnology, especially the aspects that deal with its biomedical applications.”
- Publication Record & Citation Count: At the time of filing, our client’s work had resulted in 6 published scientific articles that had collected 48 citations. These impressive numbers proved to the USCIS that many researchers depend on our client’s findings to advance their work.
