“It was great and pleasant experience working with you for my petition. The petition draft gave me high confidence in my case and the approval is the endorsement of my confidence.”

Case Summary:

A postdoctoral researcher, highly skilled in the field of agricultural economics, appointed North America Immigration Law Group to represent him by constructing an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his part. We evaluated his academic background and intended research work. His profound experience in the field of agricultural economics made him a fitting candidate for the national interest waiver. We started building his case and to demonstrate it further, we included the following required details in his I-140 NIW petition:

• We noted that his proposed research is to investigate the role of behavior in environment-friendly technology adoption and natural resource management and estimate the impact of technology adoption using a combination of economic theory and statistical methods to improve agricultural farm productivity, achieve food security, and ensure food safety while maintaining environmental and health quality. His research is therefore of great importance because it contributes to global food security.
• We observed that he has established an impressive background of publication during his time working in the field, displayed by his peer-reviewed journal articles, conferences, reports, research papers, and book chapters in the field of agricultural economics.
• In further evidence of his acknowledged expertise in the field, we mentioned that he has already conducted a good number of reviews for highly acclaimed journals. This significant peer-review activity proves our client’s remarkable expertise in this area.
• After a diligent run through his research, we added five recommendation letters acquired by our client from fellow-experts in the field to support all of his provided testimonies. Two of the recommenders described his work as:

“[Our client’s] work has shown that the adoption of genetically modified crops leads to the use of fewer pesticides and increases crop yields. It provides farmers and other agricultural experts with evidence that genetically modified crops are a useful tool for protecting crops from pests without damaging the environment and polluting the water and air that people in the United States need to survive.”

“His research has revealed crucial errors in the dominant method of predicting household economic decision-making. [Our client’s] discoveries have improved the ability of researchers in his field to more proficiently study the global economy.”

Our client was successfully granted the NIW approval after the USCIS adjudicated his work and was convinced that his research contributes to the efforts that make agriculture more efficient and sustainable in the United States. We thank our client for choosing us and congratulate him on this milepost.
