EB-2 NIW O-1 EB-1A Recommendation letters Petition

About this document

A June 2019 I-140 EB-2 NIW cover letter submitted as an original filing for a self-applicant with a Ph.D. in Biosystems Engineering. It frames the case under Dhanasar, using chapters to show advanced-degree eligibility, national importance of bioprocessing and biopesticides, position to advance the work, and why labor certification should be waived. It also lists the exhibits that support the petition.

Key points

  • States the filing is an original I-140 EB-2 National Interest Waiver petition under INA 203(b)(2)(B).
  • Claims EB-2 advanced-degree eligibility based on a Ph.D. in Biosystems Engineering and current researcher employment.
  • Argues the proposed endeavor has substantial merit and national importance through bioprocessing for fuels, enzymes, and biopesticides.
  • Says the applicant is well positioned through novel biocatalysis work, citations, journal peer review, and a critical U.S. company role.
  • Argues a labor certification waiver benefits the United States because the employer's long-term projects would be impaired without the applicant.
  • Lists evidence including recommendation letters, degree records, CV, employment letters, citations, publications, salary evidence, awards, and status documents.
  • Names the Dhanasar framework and says the petition is organized into chapters matching each required criterion.
