So, when an expert in advanced engineering materials came to us seeking help with his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, we ensured his success by preparing a solid case for him packed with evidence collected from his documents. Some of these facts are as follows:

The client’s proposed endeavor is to continue his research on developing novel models and algorithms for simulating the behavior of advanced magnetic materials in order to design magnetic devices for use in advanced computing and communication.
His research is of great importance because it optimizes the properties of complex magnetic materials needed to design and implement state-of-the-art communication networks and computational systems. Through his innovative research on novel models for the simulation of advanced magnetic materials, he provides the tools needed to optimize these magnetic materials for use in advanced computing and communication systems around the world.
His proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States. In particular, his specialized research on designing novel models for the simulation of magnetic materials provides the resources needed to optimize the computational systems used throughout the United States.
Due to its clear national importance, his research has actually been supported with funding from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, the Air Force, and the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
At the same time, he has completed at least 16 reviews to date and his research has resulted in 12 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 of them first-authored and 2 of them co-first-authored) which have been cited a total of 284 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of advanced engineering materials.

Thus, his extensive experience in the field helped him win the approval in just 2 months and 4 days.
