Client’s Testimonial:
“It is really exciting to hear that...Thank you for your help and understanding!”
On February 5th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Visiting Scholar in the Field of Particle Physics (Approval Notice).
General Field: Particle Physics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Visiting Scholar
Country of Origin: China
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Tennessee
Processing Time: 3 months, 24 days
Case Summary:
North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) helped a visiting scholar from China file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Our client’s area of study focuses on the behavior of particles at the subatomic level and further elucidates the properties of dark energy.
With a Ph.D. in Theoretical Particle Physics, 3 published papers that had gathered 29 citations, and extensive experience conducting research in his field of particle physics, our client was sufficiently qualified to file his I-140 under the NIW category. However, he needed our law firm’s expertise to further strengthen his petition by proving to the USCIS just how valuable his research is to the United States. Our adept legal team did just that; we demonstrated that our client’s work advances the United States’ high-energy physics research, as well as the astronomical and cosmological research communities, therein supporting technological progress in multiple critical industrial sectors. We also established that only a handful of other researchers can attain the same level of success as our client.
To further establish the importance of our client’s work, we encouraged him to reach out to other influential physicists for recommendation letters. One of our client’s recommenders wrote this about him: “The community of theoretical and particle physics researchers would be at a loss if he were forced to put a stop to his studies. Allowing him to continue his research in the United States would give the country the opportunity to further benefit from the contributions made by a remarkable physicist.” The USCIS took this recommendation into account—and the five others that we included in the petition packet— and ultimately granting their approval.
We congratulate our client on this milestone and wish him the best with his investigations.
