Case Summary:

A senior engineer in the field of electrical engineering hired North America Immigration Law Group to file an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Since our law firm is known as a trustworthy enterprise with a record of more than 25,000 approved employment-based visa cases, we carefully evaluate our client’s credentials to ensure that he qualifies for the EB-2 NIW visa category. Upon reviewing his qualification and professional background, we found that our client not only held a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering but has also achieved noteworthy publications and citation records in his field.

Researchers publishing their work is very crucial as it allows for the findings and discoveries to be disseminated and for the expansion of future research. His research resulted in 4 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored) and 7 conference papers (all of them first-authored), and being published in academic journals shows a researcher’s expertise in their field. Thus, he has published several times in prestigious academic journals, which establishes the important role that he plays in his field and recognition thereof from his peers. Further, his publications have been cited 51 times, demonstrating the widespread impact of his research.

In addition to his exceptional publication and citation records and his acknowledged expertise in the field, he is also active in the scientific community as a peer reviewer for highly acclaimed journals and has already conducted at least 40 reviews. So, this frequent review activity further signifies his elevated standing in the field.

Furthermore, his research has been supported by funding from leading agencies, demonstrating the acknowledged value and importance of his work, including grants from NASA, which is a major national agency focused on enabling more efficient, more secure, safer, and more environmentally sustainable air transportation systems, therefore, highlights the significance and national importance of his research on continuing to model and develop random systems and sequences with applications in air and ground transportation, image processing, and quantum mechanics.

After a thorough adjudication of his research work, we were certain that it is of great importance because it promotes progress in air transportation, which is a major effort of the United States and the global aerospace industry. Moreover, five of his fellow experts agreed to sign his recommendation letters, corroborating that his work is consistently referenced by other researchers and that his findings are of major significance to his field.

One of the recommenders stated the following:

“[Client’s] discoveries are vital to the scientific community because his findings allow researchers to understand, model, and conduct inferences on random systems. Further, his work has practical application across a variety of industries such as aerospace, quantum mechanics, and source separation. His class of random sequences has led to the usage of applications to model things such as motion trajectories with destination and waypoint information, allowing for better models for air traffic control.”

We are content that with our extended support to our client, we were able to convince the USCIS to grant him the I-140 NIW approval without requesting further evidence [RFE]. We would, therefore, like to thank our client a lot for he put his trust in us representing his I-140 NIW petition documentation. The best news is he also received his green card; thus, we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
