Case Summary:

With a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, 74 citations to her 9 publications, and years of experience improving the speed of scientific computation, this assistant professor from Iran had the credentials to qualify for EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). Even so, she needed North America Immigration Law Group’s help to strengthen her case and bring her one step closer to her green card.

Our legal team demonstrated that our client’s work is fundamental to the advancement of the United States’ military technologies, aerospace developments, and computational technology performances. We also proved that only a handful of computer scientists who share our client’s background are able to achieve her level of success. We supported this claim by including recommendation letters volunteered by other influential computer scientists in our petition packet. According to one of these experts, “In short, [Client’s] track record clearly shows her impact on the field of computer science and I have no doubt she will continue her record of success for many years to come.”

The USCIS spent over five months adjudicating this case and we are glad that they ultimately agreed with our carefully presented EB-2 NIW petition. Our firm is currently helping our client file I-485 applications for herself and her husband. We would like to take this opportunity to wish our client all the best in her final step towards permanent residency.
