Case Summary:

A Brazilian engineer sought the assistance of the North America Immigration Law Group to file a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. Based on our preliminary evaluation of his background, we found that his research focuses on advancing methods and improving strategies for modeling, simulating, analyzing, and controlling power systems and their components. These efforts are critical to ensuring the safe and reliable operation of electric power grids, which aligns with the interests of the United States in fostering progress in critical and emerging technologies. Based on our analysis, we concluded that he has a strong likelihood of securing petition approval. To support his case, we highlighted the following key aspects of his qualifications:

He holds a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, qualifying him as a professional with an advanced degree.
His research results in 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 as first author) and 23 peer-reviewed conference papers (10 as first author), with his work published in at least 2 prestigious journals and conferences.
His work has received significant recognition, as evidenced by 207 citations according to Google Scholar, underscoring its impact and reliance within the field of electrical engineering.
His research has attracted funding from prominent organizations, including the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority; the New York Power Authority; the National Science Foundation; the U.S. Department of Energy; the Brazilian Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel; the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development and the Brazilian Foundation for Research. These funds support projects that promote reliable, clean, and affordable energy solutions while providing economic growth, environmental responsibility, and national welfare. Therefore, our client’s research advances the goals of these organizations through his work on promoting technological innovation and sustainability in energy systems.
We found that he had also received 2 different letters of recommendation from experts, one of whom said:

“As a highly prominent researcher in electrical engineering, [Client] has created pioneering advancements in next-generation energy grids. When this is taken into consideration with his prowess in streamlining and connecting novel energy sources, it is clear that [Client’s] work is of great value to the field and that he is an irreplaceable presence in the research sphere.”

With the work of our dedicated team and the support of the USCIS premium processing service, we successfully secured his NIW approval in just 6 days. We appreciate his trust in our firm and wish him continued success in advancing his impactful research.
