Processing Time: 1 month, 21 days
Case Summary:
A postdoctoral research associate from Sri Lanka engaged the expert services of North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him attain a green card by means of EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). Our client has an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Physics and is currently collecting important data from lightning and analyzing this data to provide a better understanding of the causes and characteristics of various types of lightning.
As part of our services, we established that our client’s research efforts in predicting lightning events through a more complete understanding of lightning formation are contributing to the safety of Americans. We also convinced the USCIS that not many other researchers with similar skillsets can accomplish what our client has. These claims were advocated by several experts in our client’s field of atmospheric physics. As a show of support, they contributed recommendation letters, one of which stated, “[Client’s] frequent discovery of novel information regarding lighting formation has placed him at the forefront of the atmospheric electricity field, and his ongoing research endeavors are vital to the field’s expanding knowledge of lightning and other electrodynamic phenomena.” Our EB-2 NIW petition packet also contained information on our client’s professional record, namely his publication and citation count. When we filed the case, these figures stood at 16 and 144 respectively.
The combination of our client’s strong credentials and our meticulous presentation of the value of his work to the United States persuaded the USCIS to approve our client’s NIW petition. We wish him all the best in his continued investigations on the characteristics and causes of various types of lightning.
