Case Summary:

Our client, a Malaysian postdoctoral research associate, approached us to help him attain a green card. His Ph.D. in mechanical and aerospace engineering, 60 citations, 7 publications, and other credentials made him, in our eyes, a suitable candidate for EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver). We knew that in addition to carefully presenting his achievements, we needed to demonstrate our client’s influence in his field through summaries of his research. We also made sure to thoroughly understand how our client’s work utilizes fluid dynamics for noise reduction in supersonic airplanes as well as how his research has contributed to novel nanocomposite superhydrophobic coatings for repelling ice accumulation on aircraft surfaces.

Our preparation of his NIW petition was meticulous. Along with the petition, we included recommendation letters contributed by experts in the field of aerospace engineering. One of our client’s recommenders wrote, “I find him to be a vital part of aeronautics research and development today. Without his continued efforts, the aviation field will continue to suffer tremendously, as icing has played a role in recent airplane crashes […]. [Client] is championing the cause for safer flights, providing much needed reassurance for countless individuals boarding planes in the US and abroad.”

We proved beyond doubt that our client’s work is essential to the United States and that only a handful of others with similar qualifications are able to attain his level of success. The USCIS approved our client’s EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition in a little under six months. We congratulate our client on his I-140 approval and wish him all the best in his continued research efforts to keep the skies safe.
