Client’s Testimonial:

“…I would like to thank you all for helping me out and your service is highly appreciated. I am recommending you to all my friends who would be seeking the green card.”

On April 25^th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Production & Economics Technical Sales Team Lead in the Field of Petroleum Engineering (Approval Notice).

General Field: Petroleum Engineering

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Production & Economics Technical Sales Team Lead

Country of Origin: Turkey

Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas

Approval Notice Date: April 25^th, 2016

Processing Time: 2 months, 29 days

Case Summary:

Just 2 months and 29 days after we filed an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition for a technical sales team lead from Turkey, the USCIS granted their approval. On average, it takes between 4-9 months for the USCIS to take action on I-140 petitions so we are especially pleased that our client’s case was approved in such a short time. We have no doubt that our thorough presentation of our client’s solid credentials paved the way for case approval.

With an M.S. in Petroleum Engineering and extensive research experience in the same field, our client was suitably qualified for the national interest waiver. Our client’s work on optimizing oil and gas production for operating companies is of great importance to the U.S., and we included the following information in his petition packet to prove it:

Professional Accomplishments: Using Google Scholar and other relevant sites like Scopus, we determined that our client’s 2 published scientific articles had gathered 41 citations at the time of filing.
Significance of Research: After carefully reviewing our client’s research projects, we established that his work directly contributes to the American oil and gas industry. Additionally, his flow simulation research efforts benefit the United States energy sector by providing companies with accurate predictive tools for transporting hydrocarbons, contributing to the overall efficiency of the industry.
Peer Recommendations: In a bid to bolster our client’s EB-2 NIW petition, we urged him to ask other experts in the field of petroleum engineering to furnish us with recommendation letters. Our client returned with six signed letters, all of which fortified our claim that he is doing important work for the country. According to one of his recommenders, a well-known reservoir and project development manager: “It is through research projects such as his optimization work that convince me of [Client’s] competence and unique worth to the field. Without his continued presence, highly valuable findings regarding asset optimization and collaborative solutions for production operations may go undiscovered, stalling improvements in the oil and gas industry.”

We are pleased that our diligent efforts lent a hand in case approval, and we congratulate our client for getting one step closer to a green card. North America Immigration Law Group would like to thank him for placing his trust in us, and we wish him well as he continues to progress the field of petroleum engineering.
