At VISA2US, we are thrilled to share the successful EB-2 NIW approval of an Energy Geoscience Research Associate from Indonesia —achieved in just 13 days!
Holding a Ph.D. in Geology and actively contributing to research and academic publications, our client has demonstrated outstanding expertise in the field. Specializing in energy storage and clean energy generation, she is well-positioned to drive advancements in Geology. To establish her as a critical researcher in her field, we strategically highlighted her qualifications and contributions throughout the petition, followed by the following key aspects of her credentials:
Despite having 9 citations cited by dependent and independent researchers from three peer-reviewed conference papers, we emphasized her ongoing research efforts. By including her works in progress—publications under preparation and submitted for publication—we objectively proved her continued engagement in cutting-edge research and emphasized she is well-positioned to advance her proposed endeavor.
With a specialization in deep-water sedimentology, stratigraphy, and carbon capture, our client has been regularly invited to conduct peer reviews for authoritative conferences. She has completed at least five peer reviews to date, further showcasing her recognition as an expert in her field. Additionally, her work has been supported by a U.S. federal grant, a competitive funding source reserved for projects addressing critical energy and environmental challenges. We leveraged this prestigious funding to reinforce the national significance of her research.
Her proposed endeavor holds significant implications for the United States, as her research focuses on subsurface characterization and assessment to identify geologically suitable formations for secure, long-term CO2 storage, which play a crucial role in advancing carbon management strategies and directly contribute to the nation’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions.
To bolster our client’s case further, we submitted recommendation letters signed by experts in the field, including recommenders from a State agency and an industrial leader. One of the recommenders from a state agency, stated:
“By providing a rigorous scientific basis for the secure, efficient sequestration of CO2, [her] work strengthens the United States’ capacity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
and transition to a cleaner energy economy. Her comprehensive evaluation of reservoir
suitability, informed by robust geological modeling, enables industry and policymakers to
pinpoint optimal storage sites that bolster the nation’s climate change mitigation efforts.”
That being said, our client’s education, experience, expertise, and credentials—along with her ongoing research—objectively demonstrate her ability to advance the proposed endeavor. We are thrilled that our dedication and strategic approach resulted in a successful filing, highlighting her major contributions to the field. We appreciate her trust in VISA2US to represent her case.
