Case Summary:

An associate professor living in Pakistan contacted North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) when he decided that he wanted to become an American permanent resident. After assessing his credentials and confirming that we could help him obtain the national interest waiver from abroad, we started gathering information pertaining to his work in the field of applied electromagnetics.

Putting together a strong case:

By the time we were ready to file our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, we had accumulated a wealth of information pertaining to his years of experience as a researcher. For instance, we listed the 9 journal articles and 6 conference papers to his name as well as the 868 citations collected from his publications. In addition to that, we also detailed his work on developing numerical models based on electromagnetic theory to analyze and describe various electromagnetic phenomena. We were tasked with proving to the USCIS that our client is an asset to the nation and we did this by confirming that his findings directly contribute to scientists’ understanding of plasmonics and metamaterials, as well as optical metrology. Additionally, we demonstrated that his electromagnetic modeling research efforts are contributing to the United States’ technology industry.

In a bid to further fortify our client’s NIW petition, we padded it with recommendation letters volunteered by other influential members of the applied electromagnetics research community. According to one of them, a prominent professor, our client’s work “…is crucial for the progress of the United States’ semiconductor industry…” Another professor stated that our client is “…an irreplaceable asset to the field.”

We are pleased that our meticulous presentation of our client’s skills and the various benefits of his work to the US paved the way for case approval. Armed with his approved NIW, he is now ready for the second and final step of the green card process: undergoing immigrant visa processing with his dependents.
