On March 13, 2015, We Received EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval (Approval Notice) for a Job-Seeking Client in the Field of Electrical Engineering

General Field: Electrical Engineering

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Seeking Employment

Approval Notice Date: March 13th, 2015

Case Summary:

This time we were given the opportunity to work with an electrical engineer from Iran specializing in biosensor design, flexible electronics, and nanoelectronics. We submitted extensive documentation proving the high significance of her contributions to her field, including her 7 peer-reviewed journal articles as well as numerous conference papers – a body of work that had received 78 citations by the time we filed her case. The great majority of these citations are from independent researchers distributed worldwide, demonstrating the wide reliance upon and recognition of our client’s work in her field. An independent recommender affirmed the importance of her work: “[Client’s] contributions to the fields of nanotechnology and bioengineering have been extremely important to the development of these sciences. As you are probably well aware, there has been a rapid development in nanotechnology and bioengineering in recent years. … these technologies, each still in a nascent state, are being rapidly combined to yield amazing advances and create whole new industries. Indeed, it is here, on the cutting edge of research, that we are producing modern-day advances with real, practical applications on the way human beings live today. [Client], as an accomplished electrical engineer with an emphasis on biotechnology and nano design, stands at the crossroads and represents the cutting edge of this research.” We successfully demonstrated that our client’s continued employment in the field would benefit the people of the United States as a whole as well as her fellow researchers, and argued that she would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW petition was approved in four months and seventeen days.
