Case Summary:
Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a postdoctoral researcher from Iran working in the field of materials science. His work had focused specifically on the fabrication and characterization of thermoelectric semiconductor crystals, the analysis of fly ash as an ingredient in cement, and X-ray diffraction analysis techniques. This client wished to seek continued employment in the field of materials science. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of materials science, including at least 17 peer-reviewed journal articles, four book chapters, and numerous conference papers. These publications had been cited at least 77 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the recommenders remarked: “Overall, [client] has had and will continue to have a large impact on the technologies and economics of many industries in developed nations around the world. His specific focus on dental restoration has led to large improvements in the capabilities of that field, and he has been influencing many other materials science-based industries in the process.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved in 16 weeks.
