Client’s Testimonial:
“I am writing to confirm that we have received I-140 and I-485 official approval notices. We have also received our green cards, and all [the] information on [the] cards are correct. We have also got the I-485 welcome package. Thank you for all your efforts, good job.”
On March 9th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Associate in the Field of Chemical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Chemical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Associate
Country of Origin: Iran
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Delaware
Approval Notice Date: March 9th, 2016
Processing Time: 5 months, 8 days
Case Summary:
An Iranian postdoctoral associate working in the field of chemical engineering hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him obtain green cards for himself and his spouse. Getting a green card is a two-step process: the I-140 petition and the I-485 application. Known as pending filing, our client chose to file his I-485 application a month after his I-140 petition was filed. This saved a considerable amount of time, and our client received both approval notices on the same day.
Our client’s extensive experience in the field has led to multiple research projects that focus on molecular simulation and thermodynamics. As a leading chemical engineer, he has accomplished many things that not many others with similar qualifications can. For instance, we demonstrated that his research contributes to American gas and oil industries and to the design of novel materials for electronics and medicine. Not just that, we proved to the USCIS that our client’s work on green solvents positively impacts the country’s environmental efforts.
Impressive Credentials:As our client’s attorney-on-record, we were tasked with proving to the USCIS that our client’s credentials enabled his I-140 petition to be filed under the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa category and most importantly, that his petition deserved to be approved. After several months of careful preparation, we had amassed a wealth of information on our client’s qualifications including, but not limited to: the 69 citations gathered from his 7 publications and his doctoral degree. We strengthened these pieces of information by supporting them with recommendation letters provided by influential chemical engineers. For instance, one of these recommenders noted the significance of our client’s research efforts to the field by stating, “[Client’s] work is captivating and pushes the known boundaries of chemical engineering. [Client] stands out among the many chemical engineers with similar research interests because of his superior abilities.” Another recommender wrote, “What I consider to be even more impressive is the fact that his research has spanned a wide variety of topics. While not directly educated in medical and applied sciences, [Client] has demonstrated a certain expertise in applying his knowledge of chemical engineering for the benefit of these fields. This shows a profound mastery of his own discipline.”
Green Card Approval:
We would like to congratulate our client and his spouse for receiving their green cards. We are pleased that our client’s strong credentials and our persuasive presentation convinced the USCIS to grant our client permanent residency. This approval is yet another encouraging example of our firm’s dedication to helping all our clients attain green card success. We thank our client for choosing our firm, and we wish him well with his continued investigations.
