Success Stories: We Helped a Postdoctoral Scholar from Mexico in the Field of Physics Achieve NIW Approval in Around 2 Months
Client’s Testimonial:
“The team was great and I really appreciate the patience and understanding. I have already recommended y'all to two of my friends who are interested in filing their petitions.”
On July 5th, 2023, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Scholar in the field of Physics (Approval Notice).
General Field: Physics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Scholar
Country of Origin: Mexico
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas
Approval Notice Date: July 5th, 2023
Processing Time: 2 months, 21 days
Case Summary:
With a Ph.D. in physics and fundamental research experience, undoubtedly, our client possesses the ability to advance in the field of physics. When he contacted our law firm to file an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf, we examined more into his degrees and diplomas, and after thoroughly evaluating his credentials, we established that we would lead him to NIW success and countersigned the retainer agreement.
We intended to prove that he is an essential researcher in his field of physics, therefore we added essential attributes to his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition packet. We noted that his work:
- Cited 77 times by dependent and independent researchers, demonstrating that his publications are widely recognized and relied upon in his chosen field.
- His contributions to peer-reviewed conference articles resulted in 5 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored or co-first-authored).
- He has completed at least 15 reviews to date in at least 7 journals.
- His work has been supported by funding from the JST, JSPS, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Welch Foundation, the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and the U.S. Department of Energy. These institutions fund projects that promote basic chemical research, scientific research for the preservation of national security, and maintaining the lead in cutting-edge scientific discovery.
Additionally, his work on ultracold atomic systems has advanced the field and the work of his peers by approaching physics studies from a fundamental standpoint to better determine more complex applications. Consequently, this work represents progress toward his larger goal of advancing the use of numerical models in state-of-the-art scientific tool design.
To bolster our client’s case further, we added recommendation letters signed by four other expert scholars in the field. One of the scholars stated:
“The United States has been at the forefront of scientific discovery and understanding since the mid-20th century, and that is because America is a country that values innovation…Physicists like [client] are at the very root of scientific comprehension and how these theories can translate into practical technology…Far from being simply theoretical in nature, [client’s] expertise has tendrils that extend to every scientific, technological, and engineering field.”
Thus, our client’s education, experience, expertise, record of publication and citation, and history of successful research in the field all indicate that he is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor. We are pleased that our efforts and hard work, in this case, paid off well in proving that our client’s major contributions in his field of expertise make him an invaluable asset to the United States, thus, he received his NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval in 2 months, 21 days. Therefore, we thank him for choosing the North America Immigration Law Group to represent his case and wish him very well as he continues to advance in his proposed field.
