Case Summary:

The USCIS spent 6.5 months adjudicating our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) case before concluding he met the standards set by Matter of Dhanasar, the framework used to determine NIW eligibility.

With a doctorate in electrical and computer engineering and years of experience conducting practical and theoretical research in the field, our client deserved the national interest waiver. Additionally, his dozen publications had gathered 259 citations at the time of filing, which further proved his skills as a top-tier researcher.

As part of our comprehensive services, we gathered a wealth of information related to our client’s research efforts on the design of advanced optoelectronic devices. Not only did we convince the USCIS that our client’s findings are relevant to the interests of the United States, we also proved that he is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor.

We discussed several of our client’s research projects in detail and strengthened our case by incorporating recommendation letters signed by other prominent engineers. According to one of them, our client’s works “mark groundbreaking information and paves the way to implementing the efficient use of these lasers in daily life”. Not only did these letters provide subjective evidence that our client’s work is of great importance to the nation, they also supported our argument that our client’s research benefits the United States even assuming other qualified U.S. researchers are available.

With over 10,000 cinched I-140 approvals, our firm is undoubtedly well-versed with the ins and outs of helping clients get closer to their green card goals. Not only do we have great insight into how the USCIS adjudicates cases, we are also very aware of the changing adjudication trends. We take pride in knowing that no matter how unique our client’s background is, we will likely succeed in helping him/her secure I-140 approval.

We thank our client for working with us and wish him the best as he continues to progress the field of electrical and computer engineering.
