Case Summary:

A gifted research assistant working in the field of power and energy systems engineering hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him attain a green card. Our client, who obtained an M.Sc. from a university in his birth country of Iran and a Ph.D. from an American university, knew of our excellent services and impressive approval rates and wanted to give himself the best chance at becoming an American permanent resident.

Our client’s extensive experience researching renewable energy, energy storage systems, power electronic converters, power quality, and renewable energy integration and control, made him a suitable candidate for the national interest waiver. In preparing his EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, we gathered a wealth of information on his accomplishments and worked diligently to put together a coherent and persuasive petition dossier. Here are some of the things we focused on:

Significance of his research: After carefully reviewing his fieldwork, we determined that our client’s research brings about numerous benefits to the United States. For instance, his results have directly contributed to enhancing the performance of renewable energy systems in a variety of relevant and economically important industries, including power generation system, power electronics, and smart grids across the United States. Additionally, his power and energy systems research efforts are contributing to the U.S. economy by increasing efficiency of energy usage and reducing the cost of energy production in a host of industries and sectors.
His professional accolades: Our client’s position as a leader in the field was demonstrated through the 40 citations to his work, his peer review experience, and his 16 publications.
Support from his peers: We verified the importance of our client’s research to the field as well as to the U.S. by integrating recommendation letters into his petition dossier. These letters were furnished by other experts in the field, all of whom gladly agreed to lend their support towards our client’s EB-2 NIW petition. Here is what one of these experts had to say about our client: “As [Client] is clearly a researcher with a consistent record of elucidating novel measures in electrical engineering for improved power grid and renewable energy-distributed generation, I am certain that his research will continue to benefit energy generation in the United States based on this track record.”

This EB-2 NIW petition approval serves as another example of our law firm’s dedication to helping every client get closer to a green card. We recently filed an I-485 application for our client and seeing that this is the final step in the green card process, he will become a permanent resident as soon as the USCIS approves his application. We join him as he waits for them to take action on his case.
