Case Summary:

After a long wait, a traffic safety specialist from Bangladesh secured EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval. The petition, which North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) filed on his behalf, was finally approved after 16 months and 5 days. Our client holds a doctoral degree in civil engineering from a renowned American university and is an expert in the field of transportation engineering. More details of this particular case involved:

– Our client’s research focused specifically on the identification of risk factors and the improved safety protocols for motor vehicle crashes, injuries, and fatalities. As a transportation engineer, he had developed novel econometric and statistical models identifying contributing factors to severe motorcycle, heavy truck, and winter weather crashes. His research has yielded valuable new frameworks for reforming existing safety protocols against these common traffic hazards. The fact that motor vehicle crashes are the foremost cause of injury and death in the United States made it ever so necessary to grant him the national interest waiver in order to advance traffic safety within the country.

– Our client’s publication record and citation count were also presented in detail. At the time of filing, our client had published 4 peer-reviewed journal articles which had collectively garnered 32 citations. These accomplishments gave a clear picture of his high standing amongst his peers in the field of transportation engineering.

– On our advice, our client collected sufficient evidence to endorse his credentials. For instance, he gathered 6 recommendation letters from other experts. Here is a sample of a senior research scientist’s observations regarding our client’s work: “As a leading figure in transportation studies, I am confident in saying that [Client] is a top innovator in the field of transportation engineering today. His deep understanding of research methods is rare in a state agency and roadway users will surely benefit from his contributions.” Collectively, the contents of the 6 recommendation letters vouched for our client’s contributions to traffic safety and transportation engineering.

Despite the lengthy adjudication timeframe of over 16 months (it usually takes between 4-9 months), we are happy that our client finally secured NIW approval. With our firm’s help, our client chose to file I-485 applications for himself and his spouse while his NIW petition was pending approval. Less than two months after he secured the national interest waiver, their I-485 applications were approved and they are now official US permanent residents. We congratulate them on this victory and wish them well as they take on new opportunities in the US as green card holders.
