On February 19th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Graduate Research Assistant in the Field of Photovoltaics (Approval Notice).

Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Delaware
Approval Notice Date: February 19th, 2016

Petitioner in Maryland qualifies for EB-2 NIW:
This EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) case involved a gifted graduate research assistant from Taiwan working in the field of photovoltaics. She hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to put together a strong NIW case on her behalf.
Support from other experts:
To strengthen our NIW petition, we assisted our client in narrowing down a list of potential recommenders working in the field of photovoltaics. We selected five experts, all of whom gladly lent their support through recommendation letters. One of these experts wrote, “With this work and her related studies, [Client] is clearing the way for a large-scale shift to solar energy, thus reducing the United States’ dependence on imported fossil fuels and the environmental degradation that is associated with their use. I can think of few lines of research with as much to offer the United States, and [Client] is emblematic of the talent we need to attract to make this future a reality.” These letters served as proof that our client’s insights are essential to the field.
Demonstration of capabilities:
Our legal team amassed a wealth of information on our client’s many professional accomplishments and included them in our well-worded NIW petition packet. We documented our client’s M.Sc. in Engineering, the 63 citations gathered from her 2 journals papers and 2 conference proceeding articles, and carefully detailed her research on developing and optimizing novel solar cell systems for harvesting solar energy. We then used this information to prove to the USCIS that our client’s research efforts are contributing to the United States’ energy independence and environmental health.
In conclusion:
Thanks to our client’s strong credentials and our legal team’s diligent efforts, the immigration officers at TSC only spent 37 days adjudicating this case. Our client recently retained our I-485 services to propel her to the green card finish line. We look forward to helping her and her husband attain permanent residency.
