Success Stories: Texas Service Center Approves NIW Petition for Postdoctoral Research Scholar from South Korea in the Field of Biomaterials
Client’s Testimonial:
“I really appreciate your great work on my case, and will definitely recommend you to my friends who are seeking green cards.”
On March 22nd, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Field of Biomaterials (Approval Notice).
General Field: Biomaterials
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Scholar
Country of Origin: South Korea
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: North Carolina
Approval Notice Date: March 22nd, 2016
Processing Time: 8 months, 12 days
With a Ph.D. in Forest Biomaterials and extensive experience in the field of biomaterials, our client had the necessary credentials to file his I-140 petition under the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa category. North America Immigration Law Group (Wegreened.com) was contracted to put together a convincing NIW petition packet and submit it to the USCIS on our client’s behalf.
Our Role in the Process:
As part of our services, we helped our client narrow down a list of potential recommenders whom he could approach for testimonials. Our only criteria were that these recommenders be experts in the field of biomaterials, and that they be familiar with/have used our client’s research findings to progress their own work. Our client managed to obtain four recommendation letters, all of which spoke highly of his research and its value to the United States. One of these experts stated that “… he is one of the finest biomass experts to seek entry in the U.S. and as such facilitates environmental recovery and fuel independency unlike any other similarly qualified scientist.” These letters served as evidence that our client is an asset to the country and that not many other researchers with similar skillsets can mirror his success. These recommendation letters were accompanied by detailed explanations of our client’s various professional accomplishments. For instance, we documented his 10 published papers and the 306 citations gathered from his research. We used these figures to demonstrate to the USCIS that our client’s work is depended upon by other researchers who are also progressing the field.
In Conclusion:
We recently found out that our client’s I-485 application (last step in the green card process) had also been approved, and we join him as he celebrates becoming an American permanent resident. Like many of our clients, he opted to file his I-485 application with the help of our comprehensive I-485 D.I.Y. Packet. North America Immigration Law Group is very pleased to have been a part of his green card journey, and we wish him well as he continues to progress the field of biomaterials in the United States.
