Case Summary:
With a Ph.D. in chemical and biological engineering, our client’s work concentrated on developing the basic chemo-mechanical principles for next-generation rechargeable battery research and development, which will aid in the creation of high-performance and safe energy storage technologies. Our client’s suggested research holds significant importance as it has a proven track record of success in the field of energy storage technology. By utilizing high-performing energy storage, it reduces dependency on fossil fuels and boosts the global economy.
After learning about our client’s research background and his intention to submit an NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition with the help of the North America Immigration Law Group, we concluded that his study is crucial to advancing global economic growth and lowering dependency on fossil fuels. Upon meticulous examination of his scientific background, we decided to support him in obtaining NIW approval.
Therefore, in order to effectively advance his case for a national interest waiver, our team of experts provided valuable insight into the NIW petition. With over 32,000 approved cases, we successfully presented our client’s research and made sure to draw attention to the following key components in his NIW petition packet:
- We noted that his specialized research also has broad implications for the United States as the enhanced energy storage capability is beneficial for the U.S. economy and the American transition to renewable energy, our client’s research supports the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) goals for advancing lithium battery development.
- Thus, his research received funding support from the esteemed U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), the Institute of Basic Science (IBS) of South Korea, the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), and the National Research Foundation (NRF) of Korea. This validates his research and shows its clear importance in developing novel methods to aid the design of safe, efficient energy storage technologies.
- Moreover, his research has resulted in 10 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored, 4 of them co-first-authored) and 1 published patent, which altogether gathered 249 citations from many other experts in the field of energy storage science.
Overall, we were able to prove to the USCIS that our client’s research on chemo-mechanical mechanisms improves battery performance, aids global climate change goals, and benefits the global economy. Thus, our diligent team prepared a strong NIW petition, and we are thrilled that it was approved in just 7 days with the help of USCIS’s premium processing service. We are grateful to our client for placing his trust in our law firm.
