Success Stories: Our Team Gets NIW Approval for a Senior Researcher from Chile in Inorganic Chemistry in Less Than 4 Months

 

Client’s Testimonial:

“The process was quick and easy, and I highly recommend CHEN's service for obtaining NIW permission. Throughout the entire procedure, the lawyer was extremely helpful.”


On March 28th, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Senior Researcher in the Field of Inorganic Chemistry (Approval Notice).


General Field: Inorganic Chemistry

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Researcher

Country of Origin: Chile

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: South Korea

Approval Notice Date: March 28th, 2022

Processing Time: 3 months, 6 days


Case Summary:

An expert in the field of inorganic chemistry from Chile came to us seeking help with his NIW (National Interest Waiver)petition. Since the USCIS has clearly instructed that all applicants prove the significance of their work for the country to get approval, our team ensures the success of the NIW clients by holding on to this instruction. While the details of each NIW case are unique and different, the core remains the same. That is the need to prove the value of a petitioner’s work for the country.

So when armed with an M.S. in chemistry, our NIW client came to us. We made sure to help him by collecting relevant data for his application from the documents he provided. This yielded the following information:

  • His proposed endeavor is to continue his research on developing novel tunable catalysts via switchable catalysis and nanoparticle enzymes in order to prepare novel compounds and materials for industrial applications.
  • His research advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because it supports advances in the global catalyst industry, a crucial component of numerous chemical processes.
  • He has conducted several groundbreaking studies in the field of inorganic chemistry that have centered on catalysis.
  • He has vastly improved the capabilities of available catalysts and supported areas, such as the development of novel materials. In this way, the client has asserted himself as a globally necessary research scientist.
  • Due to its clear national importance, his research has in fact been supported with funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research, and the IBS.
  • His research has resulted in 20 peer-reviewed journal articles (11 of them first- or co-first-authored).
  • His publications have been cited a total of 153 times according to Google Scholar. He has provided independent researchers from around the world with useful approaches to the study of complex topics within the field of inorganic chemistry.
  • We produced detailed descriptions of 4 of his key projects that have been included as evidence of his contributions to and expertise in the field of inorganic chemistry.
  • He has pursued research directly related to his proposed endeavor of developing novel tunable catalysts via switchable catalysis and nanoparticle enzymes in order to prepare novel compounds and materials for industrial applications for 8 years.
These pieces of information went a long way in proving the significance of our client’s endeavor for the United States of America, winning him approval in less than 4 months, and that too without an RFE. We thank our client for placing his trust in us and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
