Success Stories: Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Field of Nanoscale Engineering with Approved NIW Petition Receives Green Card
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thanks for your message and the good news. I also thank you for your guidance and support in this process.”
On April 14th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Field of Nanoscale Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Nanoscale Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Associate
Country of Origin: Turkey
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts
Approval Notice Date: April 14th, 2016
Processing Time: 11 months, 8 days
A postdoctoral research associate from Turkey hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him obtain a green card via EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver), and we did not let him down. Our client’s Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and experience working in the field of nanoscale engineering have shaped him into the leading researcher that he is today, making him a suitable candidate for the national interest waiver.
Putting together a convincing EB-2 NIW petition:
Among other things, our client’s EB-2 NIW petition contained data on his 121 citations and 8 publications. It also featured details on his research projects focused on nanomaterials from both additive nanomanufacturing methods and a water-based additive manufacturing process. We demonstrated that our client’s research results significantly advance American electronics, optics, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries, and that not many other researchers with similar qualifications can attain the same level of research success as him. Furthermore, we incorporated recommendation letters volunteered by other influential researchers, one of whom stated that “[Client] has ceaselessly produced efficient, technologically revolutionary, and applicable inventions that are undeniably changing the way bioengineers approach nanomanufacturing. There is no doubt that he already benefits both the scientific communities and the medical-social communities that are irrevocably affected by new nanotechnology.”
Filing an I-485 application while the I-140 petition is pending approval:
Green card applicants can choose to file their I-485 application after their I-140 petition is approved, at the same time, or while it is pending approval. In this case, our client chose the third option and submitted his I-140 and I-485 three months apart. He was fortunate enough to receive both approval notices on the same day, which allowed him to save additional time in the overall green card process.
Obtaining a green card:
We would like to congratulate our client and his spouse for obtaining their green cards. Although it was a long journey to the finish line, we are pleased that they have accomplished their joint goal of becoming permanent residents. We wish them well as they embark on new beginnings in the United States.
