Case Summary:

Our law firm boasts an outstanding track record, having successfully handled over 32,000 cases. When a structural engineer hired us to assist with his National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition, we promptly reviewed his background and crafted his personalized petition to ensure swift approval.

After reviewing his background, we found that our client holds a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and is well-established in his field. His research has led to the publication of 6 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored), 1 peer-reviewed conference paper, and 2 technical reports. His work has had a significant impact on his peers, with his publications being cited a total of 60 times according to Google Scholar. This demonstrates the wide recognition and influence of his contributions within the field.

Not only that, our client’s research focuses on identifying the most affected parameters and characteristics of the materials used in structural buildings to develop state-of-the-art approaches for predicting the strength and failure modes of structural members. His work holds significant value for the American economy and national infrastructure goals.

“As I have outlined in my discussion, [Client] has extensive academic and professional experience, and has contributed in substantial and important ways to the field of structural engineering. In particular, his research on new kinds of shear reinforcement led to an important change to U.S. building codes that will facilitate faster and more efficient construction, resulting in long-lasting positive impacts on U.S. industry. In light of this, and all other aspects detailed in this letter, I reaffirm my support for [Client’s] continued work in the US.”

The above statement was extracted from one of our client’s recommendation letters, provided by an expert in the civil engineering field. It further highlights his qualities and significantly strengthens his case.

Given the information listed above, we were able to present a compelling case and secure his NIW approval in 53 days. We thank him for his trust and wish him the best in his research. With another successful case, we remain committed to providing expert legal services to our future clients.
