Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you again for working with me for my case. I highly appreciate your professional service, and I will absolutely recommend you to my friends.”
On March 4th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Scientist in the Field of Oceanography (Approval Notice).
General Field: Oceanography
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Scientist
Country of Origin: Taiwan
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Florida
Approval Notice Date: March 4th, 2016
Processing Time: 6 months, 9 days
Case Summary:
Texas Service Center spent 6 months and 9 days reviewing this EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet before granting their approval. Our client, an accomplished research scientist from Taiwan working in the field of oceanography, hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him get significantly closer to American permanent residency.
Client’s Strengths:
With a Ph.D. in in Physical Oceanography, extensive experience in the field, and numerous professional accolades under his belt, our client was a suitable candidate for EB-2 NIW. The detailed petition that we put together was partly comprised of our client’s citation record, publication count, and summaries of his research efforts: we noted the 89 citations to his half a dozen journal papers and discussed his in-depth research on the development and application of numerical models to solve environmental problems in marine systems.
Further Evidence:
To further fortify our EB-2 NIW case, we persuaded our client to reach out to other specialists in his field and ask them for recommendation letters. To our delight, five experts agreed to help and their letters served as evidence that our client’s work is important to the United States’ fishing industry, natural resources, and economy. We also used these letters to support our argument that not many other researchers with similar qualifications can attain the same level of success as our client. According to one of our client’s recommenders—a prominent professor in the field—our client’s area of study is “… a highly valuable pursuit because of its implications for climate change and world ecosystems. Some of the many benefits include improved mapping of coastal hazards and more accurate analysis of the impact of transport on water quality and living resources.”
Case Approval:
We are pleased that Texas Service Center approved this NIW petition. This story of success is another illustration of our law firm’s ability to help every client get closer to their green card. We congratulate our client and wish him well as he continues to positively impact the ocean ecosystem.
