Success Stories: USCIS Approves NIW Petition Filed for New York-based Senior Engineer in the Field of Electrical Engineering

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you very much for your excellent work! I will definitely recommend WeGreened to my friends!”

On February 22nd, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Senior Engineer in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).

General Field: Electrical Engineering

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Engineer

Country of Origin: China

Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New York

Approval Notice Date: February 22nd, 2016

Processing Time: 6 months, 11 days

Case Summary:

“The surpassing novelty and importance of [Client’s] work […] signifies that [Client] is an irreplaceable talent in American science whose departure would undermine progress in the design and expansive commercial application of highly permeable inductors with superior FMR values. To put it simply: the USA cannot stand losing [Client].”
“[Client] counts as a deeply talented force of progress in semiconductor research and development.”

These quotes are excerpted from two out of six recommendation letters volunteered by expert electrical engineers in support of our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. They supplied the USCIS with proof that our client’s research on superior protocols and designs for thin film magnetic inductors, including an inductor based on the soft magnetic material is of great value to many researchers, both in the United States and abroad. These letters also strengthened our claim that our client’s incomparable skillsets are essential to the high technology industry and cutting-edge semiconductor sector in the United States.

Additional Evidence:

Besides documenting strong third-party opinions in our EB-2 NIW petition letter, we also highlighted our client’s many educational and professional accomplishments. For instance, we detailed his Master of Engineering in Microelectronics and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. We also noted his 10 publications and numerous conference papers that had collected 140 citations.

We are pleased that our well-thought-out NIW presentation and our client’s strong credentials convinced the USCIS that he deserved to get one step closer to permanent residency. North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) would like to thank our client for placing his complete trust in us to help him get there.
