Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for Postdoctoral Research Associate from Nepal in the Field of Nanoscience


Client’s Testimonial:
“I am very glad to hear that my I-140 has been approved. Thank you so much for your efforts to make it successful. Since the [first day] I retained you [to file] my I-140, I was impressed by your quick, responsive and specific-to-point services when you deal with the client. I [will] definitely extend my experience with you to friends, my staff, colleagues, around the campus and other communities who seek immigration services like me.”

On February 5th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Field of Nanoscience (Approval Notice).

Case Summary:

In EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) case, a postdoctoral research associate needed North America Immigration Law Group’s help to file an I-140 petition (the first portion of the two-step green card process). The USCIS spent a little over three months reviewing the case before they granted their approval.
Our client has published 6 scientific papers that have collected 41 citations, and has much experience developing low power electronic and optoelectronic nanoscale devices, as well as models essential for the next generation of information processing schemes and devices. His work has offered many other scientists important insights regarding the field of nanoscience, and benefits major American industries that implement advanced technologies, including the computer industry.
Our client obtained an M.Sc. from a university in his birth country of Nepal, whereas his doctoral degree was earned from an American institution. As part of our legal services, we helped our client narrow down a list of potential experts in the field who could support his NIW petition by contributing recommendation letters. He obtained six letters, one of which stated, “[Client] is a scientist of uncommon skills and his work is immediately applicable to both national and international scientific projects.” Furthermore, we established that only a scant handful of nanoscience experts are able to attain such meritorious research results.
We are pleased that this NIW approval has brought our client closer to his green card, and we wish him well with his continued investigations in the field of nanoscience.
