Case Summary:

Our firm was hired to assist an assistant professor in filing a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. To qualify for this waiver, the petitioner must demonstrate that their proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance, that they are well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor, and that, on balance, it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the requirements of a job offer, and thus the labor certification.

Based on our team’s analysis, he endeavors to develop economic models and conduct econometric analyses to identify risk factors of market volatility and suboptimal financial policies to assist investors and policymakers in making informed decisions and safeguarding stable and sustainable economic growth. After completing his background check, we felt that the client had a strong case and created his personalized petition package with the following details:

He has a Ph.D. in business administration, proving he has an advanced degree.
He also has a strong publishing record, with 13 peer-reviewed journal articles and 3 preprints, 3 of which were published in high-ranking journals.
His work has also been cited 23 times at the time of filing. In addition, his research has been referenced in several influential peer-reviewed papers.
His research is also of national importance, as his work provides essential insights for investors and policymakers to mitigate the impacts of environmental pollution on financial stability and promote economic sustainability. Consequently, his research supports resilient economic performance even during challenging periods, bolstering the U.S. economy.
He has also received letters of recommendation from 2 different experts, one of whom said:

“[Client]’s multifaceted expertise and innovative methodologies equip investors, policymakers, and financial institutions with valuable insights to contribute to economic growth, market efficiency, and financial system resilience across the United States.”

Given the sum of the evidence provided above, our team was able to present his case and secure his NIW approval successfully, thanks in part to the premium processing service offered by the USCIS. We thank our client for putting his trust in our firm and hope for his continued success.
