Success Stories: Massachusetts-based Postdoctoral Associate in the Field of Electrical Engineering with Approved NIW Petition Obtains Green Card Success

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you for your effort on my I140 approval. I have already referred you to most of my friends.”

On April 26^th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Associate in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).

General Field: Electrical Engineering

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Associate

Country of Origin: Turkey

Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts

Approval Notice Date: April 26^th, 2016

Processing Time: 4 months, 15 days

Case Summary:

The USCIS spent 4.5 months reviewing our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition before granting their approval. Our client, a postdoctoral associate from Turkey, hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) because he knew that we would do everything we could to present a strong case to the USCIS on his behalf. As is apparent by the approval notice, we lived up to his expectations.

Persuasive Presentation:

With a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and extensive electrical engineering experience, our client had suitable qualifications to qualify for the national interest waiver. Furthermore, his professional qualifications strengthened the likelihood of him getting his petition approved. Here are some of the things we detailed in his EB-2 NIW petition packet: his peer review experience (numerous reviews for 10 scientific journals), his citation count (515 citations at the time of filing), and his publication record (23 journal articles, 1 book chapter, and numerous conference presentations).

Strong Support:

Our client’s high standing in the field secured him numerous supporters, many of whom are his peers. We urged him to reach out to these experts in the field and request for several recommendation letters. Four experts agreed to endorse the approval of his EB-2 NIW petition by signing testimonials. Here is what one of these experts had to say about our client and his work: “[Client] is a multitalented scientist who is currently working in areas of cellular biology and cancer treatment. He has also made many significant discoveries in the field of photonics, particularly when it comes to the improvement of biodetection systems.” Another supporter stated that “…I have seen nothing but brilliant, original, and useful work come from [Client] and I am confident he will continue to produce this kind of high caliber research well into the future.”

Status Adjustment for Permanent Residence:

Around the same our client received notification of his EB-2 NIW petition approval, we filed an I-485 application on his behalf. This is the last step in the green card process and an approval leads to American permanent residence. Just recently, we received the good news that our client’s I-485 application had been approved, and we join him as he celebrates the accomplishment of this very important life goal.
