On February 28th, 2024, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Field of Photonics (Approval Notice).
General Field: Photonics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Scholar
Country of Origin: Morocco
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Florida
Approval Notice Date: February 28th, 2024
Processing Time: 6 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
Our client, a holder of a Ph.D. in physical chemistry - photonics, and nanotechnology, and working as a postdoctoral scholar, intends to continue his research here in the United States in the field of photonics, improving and developing methods in laser additive manufacturing and identifying functional applications for these techniques in order to accelerate the use of laser additive manufacturing and nanofabrication in areas including biomedical devices, solar cells, advanced optics, and microelectronics.
Therefore, he hired the North America Immigration Law Group to help him assemble a customized petition package for the “National Interest Waiver” (NIW) petition under the EB-2 visa category. We agreed to completely support him in preparing the NIW case petition, which required us to present evidence to the USCIS demonstrating that our client is qualified for a national interest waiver under the analytical framework provided in Matter of DHANASAR.
Our client's NIW Case Presentation had the following attributes:
- Our initial emphasis was on his research’s great importance because it improves and develops laser additive manufacturing methods to progress real-world photonics applications. Photonics is a considerable global market that has experienced rapid growth, exceeding the global gross domestic product growth rate from 2015 to 2019. His novel solutions are thus crucial to optimize manufacturing outcomes and promote advanced technology.
- Furthermore, his study has received financial support (funding) from several leading agencies, including NAWCAD, IRflex Corporation, and the Moroccan Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research, and Innovation. Therefore, his research clearly provides novel advancement for two-photon nanofabrication technology.
- In addition, he published 6 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored) and 5 conference papers (3 of them first-authored) in some of the most prestigious journals, receiving 93 citations from independent researchers throughout the world.
- Moreover, four of his fellow experts in the field provided additional insight into the merit of this endeavor, corroborating that our client’s research is relevant to improving the efficiency of U.S. manufacturing processes and reducing resource requirements.
