Success Story: EB2 NIW Approval for a PhD Candidate in the field of Computational Physics

On August 22nd, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a PhD Candidate in the field of Computational Physics (Approval Notice)


General Field: Computational Physics Position at the Time of Case Filing: PhD Candidate Country of Origin: Nigeria Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing:  Louisiana Approval Notice Date: August 22, 2013 Processing Time:  4 months (13 days after responding to RFE)


Case Summary:

Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a PhD candidate from Nigeria working in the field of computational physics.  His work had focused specifically on first-principle ab-initio computations to discern the properties of diverse, novel materials for semiconductors and strongly correlated electron systems and model based computations utilizing dynamical mean-field approximations, dynamical cluster approximations, typical medium theory, and many other computational techniques. We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com 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 computational physics, including at least 61 peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers. His publications had been cited at least 58 times at the time of case filing.  Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “As the nature of the quantum effects in this research requires absolute verity, it is essential that result be as accurate as possible. [Client’s] work has been critical in this area, revolutionizing computational sciences and paving the way for further groundbreaking work in materials discovery, design, and characterization.” Through extensive documentation, we at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.comsuccessfully 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 4 months.
