Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group has been dealing with NIW (National Interest Waiver) cases since its inception and has grown from strength to strength to realize the dream of countless clients. The invaluable experience has honed our team to know the best way forward in any given circumstance and thus we deal with cases in as individualized form as possible. So when a postdoctoral fellow in physics from Taiwan came to us seeking help to file his NIW petition we used his CVs and transcripts to draw out these bits of information for the petition:

He is an expert in the field of physics and his proposed endeavor is to develop optical characterization techniques and numerical methods in order to advance data storage technology, electro-optic and microfluidic devices, and biophysics-based therapeutics.
His research is of clear national importance due to which it has been supported with funding from 2 institutions of national importance, namely the U.S. Department of Energy and has also earned financial support from the National Science Foundation.
He has published 11 peer-reviewed journal articles in 10 highly ranked journals.
These publications have been cited by his peers some 157 times in all already.
He has also been called to conduct reviews for a prestigious journal in his area of expertise.

Along with this evidence of his research, we asked him to collect at least 2 letters of support from experts in his field, one coming each from a dependent and independent source. Having thus collected all relevant information and documents for his petition we compiled and forwarded the document for review from the USCIS. So when he received his approval in November of 2021, we were elated at his success. We wish him the very best in life.
