Case Summary:

Some of the factors that played a major role in winning the National Interest Waiver approval for a Brazilian product manager in civil engineering are as follows:

She held a Ph.D. in civil engineering and was working as a product manager in the field for a reputed international firm.
As an expert in the field, she wanted to continue her state-of-the-art research to streamline daily construction workflows and help construction stakeholders use technology to mitigate risk.
This research to advance her proposed endeavor is of great importance because it contributes to the development and implementation of BIM, which acts as the basis for digital transformation in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.
Not only this, but her proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States since according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), construction and demolition (C&D) debris includes steel, wood products, drywall and plaster, brick and clay tile, and concrete. Considering that Global Commercial Real Estate Services (CBRE) forecasts a more than 14% year-over-year increase in United States construction costs by the end of 2022, her research is a critical area of inquiry for the United States.
Her work has led her to be invited to conduct peer reviews and she has completed at least 9 reviews to date.
Her research has resulted in 6 peer-reviewed journal and conference articles (five of them first-authored) and 2 technical reports.
These publications have also been cited a total of 237 times, according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of civil engineering.
Additionally, she has pursued research directly related to her proposed endeavor of streamlining daily construction workflows for 5 years.
And these factors have been corroborated by 4 letters of recommendation written by other experts in the field who said that her work was indeed of value to the U.S.

So, when the adjudication was complete and her approval had come through, we were very happy to inform our client about the success of her case. We thank her for choosing our firm and we wish her the best in her future endeavors.
