Case Summary:

We were honored to represent a sustainable energy consultant from Iran in filing her I-140 National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. Her work focuses on developing effective policies to improve equitable access to resources for vulnerable populations, particularly in the face of natural hazards.

Our role was to demonstrate that her qualifications, including an M.S. in urban and regional planning, established her as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree. Additionally, we highlighted how her continued research is essential to maintaining and advancing the United States’ technological leadership.

To build a compelling case, we meticulously gathered and organized all relevant evidence into a well-structured petition. We emphasized the significance of her research in hazard forecasting, protecting lives, and minimizing damage to public and private assets. Her work plays a key role in preventing flood disasters, ultimately saving lives and reducing economic losses.

We also showcased her strong track record and influence in the field. Her research has been published in top-tier academic journals, with 4 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 as the first author) and 45 citations, demonstrating her impact on fellow scholars.

Given her expertise and the critical importance of her work, we successfully demonstrated that her contributions benefit the United States, regardless of the availability of qualified U.S. workers. Her proposed research addresses pressing challenges related to mitigating the effects of natural hazards and optimizing resource management. With her unique qualifications, leadership, and specialized knowledge, she is exceptionally well-positioned to advance this important work.

We also gathered four recommendation letters from peer experts who attested to her contributions to the field, strengthening her petition. One of them stated:

“In conclusion, [client] is a highly regarded scientist whose research on improving affordable housing planning and diminishing the risks of natural disasters has been highly influential. Her distinguished position within the urban planning field is demonstrated through her ample experience and the many invaluable research contributions she has made. For these reasons, [client’s] work on maintaining the affordability and sustainability of urban planning should undoubtedly be supported due to the many benefits it provides.”

Thanks to our strategic petition preparation and USCIS’s premium processing, her NIW petition was approved in only 7 days. She expressed gratitude for our dedication, responsiveness, and precision, calling the experience a pleasure and wholeheartedly recommending our firm. We deeply appreciate her kind words and trust in our team. It is incredibly rewarding to know that our expertise and commitment have made such a positive impact on her journey. We wish her continued success and look forward to assisting more professionals in achieving their immigration goals.
