Case Summary:
Our firm has established a strong reputation for effectively managing I-140 National Interest Waiver (NIW) petitions, as demonstrated by the successful EB-2 NIW petition of a researcher from Pakistan currently based in Washington. To qualify for the National Interest Waiver, the petitioner must show that their proposed work has substantial merit and national importance, that they are well-suited to pursue it, and that waiving the job offer and labor certification requirement would be beneficial to the United States.
Our client’s renewable energy study is focused on fabricating perovskite solar energy modules, improving their stability and photovoltaic performance, and testing device durability and performance reliability. An expert has provided a recommendation letter supporting our client’s work, stating:
“One of the biggest global challenges our society faces is introducing clean energy sources into the grid and reducing carbon emissions. This is only possible after extensive research into the most efficient energy sources, their acquisition and integration, and their impact on various devices. {client’s} research is of great importance because it addresses critical issues associated with stabilizing the performance of scalable perovskite cells, which is essential for enabling the establishment of an environmentally and economically sustainable carbon-free clean energy future.“
We have included his credentials and his achievements in the petition packet, to improve the chance of securing the approval:
- Our client’s research has resulted in 4 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored). Notably, one article is ranked in the top 10.0% and another in the top 20.0% of the most-cited articles in the field of Materials Science for their respective publication years.
- Our client’s other publications have been cited a total of 61 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of renewable energy generation and storage.
- Our client’s study has been supported by funding from the NSFC, the Guangdong Province Natural Science Fund, and the Science and Technology Innovation of Shenzhen.
