Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) recently worked with a graduate assistant and doctoral candidate from Iran. Our client, who has an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, had the educational background and professional experience to qualify himself under the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa category.

As part of our services, we proved that our client’s research contributes to the performance of energy converters, combustors, and other industrial systems with numerous advantages for the field and U.S. society. We also demonstrated that not many other scientists working in the field of mechanical engineering can formulate innovative computational programs for high-power energy conversion systems, as well as elucidate the key mechanisms of reacting flow inside ultra-compact combustors. Our well-balanced EB-2 NIW petition packet was composed of information on our client’s 50 publications and 1575 citations that they had amassed. It also contained five testimonials contributed by other influential mechanical engineers. One of these letters stated, in part, that “I have seen nothing but successful research come from [Client] so far and based on the innovative nature of his research, the widespread utilization of his work from researchers around the world, and the dozens of publications he has produced, I am confident he will continue to achieve this sort of high-level success well into his future career endeavors.”

The USCIS only spent a little over two months adjudicating this NIW case. Our client recently retained us to file I-485 applications for himself and his wife, and we thank them for choosing us to help them attain their green cards.
