General Field: Physics

Approval Notice Date: October 20^th, 2022

Processing Time: 1 month, 1 day

Case Summary:

As an expert in the field of physics, from Nepal, came to NAILG seeking help with his National Interest Waiver or NIW petition. So, our team made sure that he knew the ins and outs of the NIW petition process and what the approval entails. We let him know that the USCIS requires its NIW petitioners to provide clear evidence of their nationally important work. In turn, this means that the applicant on approval will receive a job certification waiver and labor certification waiver. Our team then proceeded after countersigning the agreement, to prepare a solid case for him. This meant including the following information in his petition packet:

His proposed endeavor is to continue his research on developing numerical and analytical methods to identify 2D ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, multiferroic, and quantum materials for use in next-generation memory, spintronic, valleytronic, optoelectronic, and energy storage devices.
In addition, his work has introduced new opportunities to advance the manufacturing of energy storage devices for improved large-scale battery storage.
Due to its evident national importance, his research has in fact been supported with funding from the United States Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.
His research has resulted in 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored).
These publications have been cited a total of 101 times according to Google Scholar.
He has pursued research directly related to his proposed endeavor of developing numerical and analytical methods to identify 2D ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, multiferroic, and quantum materials for use in next-generation memory, spintronic, valleytronic, optoelectronic, and energy storage devices for 6 years.
He also obtained 4 letters of recommendation from other experts in his field who supported his work in the area.

So when his approval came through in a short period of 31 days only, we were proud of having worked with him on this case. We thank him for his patience and his trust in our firm.
