Case Summary:
We are thrilled to announce the I-140 National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition approval for our client, an expert in the field of sustainable energy. Our client holds an M.S. in chemical engineering. His proposed endeavor is the data-driven algorithms for improving the prediction, and modeling of sustainable energy systems. This work is highly important as it contributes to advancing renewable energy and improving environmental sustainability in the United States. The client is currently conducting research at a U.S. university and plans to continue his work as a postdoctoral researcher.
Demonstrating the Client’s Significance
To satisfy the “well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor” prong of the Dhanasar test, we presented a compelling case built on our client’s strong record of success and significant contributions to his field. We highlighted his extensive body of work, which includes:
- 3 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 of which was first-authored.
- 5 peer-reviewed conference articles, 3 of which were first-authored.
- 1 granted patent.
His publications have a total of 100+ citations on Google Scholar, which demonstrates the influence of his research on other scholars in the field of sustainable energy. We also included evidence of funding from major sources, including the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office, which funds research that aligns with U.S. national interests. These elements collectively proved his standing as a leader in his field, uniquely positioned to advance his proposed endeavor.
A Favorable Outcome
The I-140 NIW petition was approved without a Request for Evidence (RFE). The approval of this case is a testament to the client’s exceptional qualifications and the national importance of his work, which falls into the category of “critical and emerging technologies” identified by the National Science and Technology Council. His contributions are vital to enhancing U.S. technological leadership and energy security. We are proud to have assisted this talented individual in securing his NIW approval and look forward to the continued impact of his research on sustainable energy.
