Success Stories: Rapid NIW Approval in over 3 Months for Postdoctoral Associate from China without RFE

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you so much for your assistance with my I-140 NIW application.”

On October 15^th, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Associate in the field of Computational Chemistry (Approval Notice).

General Field: Computational Chemistry

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Associate

Country of Birth: China

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts

Approval Notice Date: October 15^th, 2025

Processing Time: 3 months and 15 days

Case Summary:

“Considering [The Client]’s extensive publication record and the widespread application of [The Client]’s computational models, [The Client] is clearly recognized as an authority in computational chemistry. [The Client]’s research has markedly advanced the field’s understanding of interfacial phenomena, which has directly benefited both scientific exploration and practical applications throughout the United States.”

The statement above is taken from one of two recommendation letters submitted as part of the I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition for a postdoctoral associate in the field of computational chemistry from China, who holds a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering – scientific computation. Drawing on our extensive experience and a proven track record of over 32,000 successful cases, our expert team meticulously crafted a compelling petition on behalf of this researcher. The client’s NIW petition was approved in over 3 months without RFE.

To further strengthen the case, we highlighted the client’s impressive credentials:

NAILG demonstrated that the client’s interdisciplinary expertise in molecular dynamics, quantum chemical modeling, and machine learning integration places the client at the forefront of sustainable materials research. By combining computational precision with applied material design, the client’s simulations accelerate the discovery of materials that balance energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

The client has authored 13 peer-reviewed journal articles (7 first-authored and 1 co-first-authored) and 3 abstracts (2 first-authored). These publications have appeared in some of the most prestigious journals in the field. The client’s research has been cited 270 times, demonstrating widespread recognition and influence within the scientific community.

The client’s studies, supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES), reveal new approaches to optimizing surface interactions and polarization effects that enhance ion rejection and energy conversion efficiency.

Moreover, the client has been regularly invited to conduct peer review for authoritative journals in the field, having completed at least 13 reviews to date for distinguished publications.

Conclusion:

This successful outcome reflects NAILG’s commitment to supporting scientists whose discoveries enable sustainable technological progress. The client’s continued contributions to computational chemistry promise to drive innovation in energy efficiency, water treatment, and environmental protection, advancing both scientific knowledge and U.S. global competitiveness in sustainable materials research.
