About this document

A 5-year career plan for the applicant’s EB-2 NIW case, centered on semiconductor research and related energy work. It lays out year-by-year activities, fallback paths, income sources, and monthly expense estimates, including a Texas living budget. The plan also links the applicant’s work to networking, post-doc study, integrated circuit design, and later private or academic work.

Key points

  • Year 1: English study, search for a post-doc in radiation-resistant semiconductors or renewable/efficient energy, and build US networking.
  • Year 1 funding: remote Brazilian government work and the wife’s retirement pension; combined income listed as $6,000/month.
  • Year 2: start as an integrated circuit designer or begin the post-doc; the wife prepares for COMLEX or studies home care.
  • Year 2 goal: further develop skills in a rapidly growing area of national interest and add another healthcare provider to the market.
  • Year 3: continue circuit design or finish the post-doc; the wife completes exams and begins work as a nurse or in home care.
  • Year 4: work in a specialty area, possibly renewable energy, produce research, or open an efficient-energy company.
  • Year 5 and beyond: keep contributing through private work, academic research, or the applicant’s own company.
  • Texas budget: rent, groceries, transportation, entertainment, and other costs are itemized at a total of $4,000 per month.
