Success Stories: USCIS Approves NIW Petition for Iranian Senior Digital Signal Processing Engineer in the Field of Electrical Engineering

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you so much for the good news. I appreciate your help you and your very good work.”

On February 26th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Senior Digital Signal Processing Engineer in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).

General Field: Electrical Engineering

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Digital Signal Processing Engineer

Country of Origin: Iran

Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California

Approval Notice Date: February 26th, 2016

Case Summary:

A senior digital signal processing engineer from Iran selected North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf. Amongst other things, we prompted our client to ask for recommendation letters from other influential researchers in his field of electrical engineering. We used these letters to strengthen our NIW petition packet, as can be seen by the summaries below:

“While many researchers have studied wireless sensor networks and social networks, few have done so to the extent that [Client] has.”

This quote, and many others akin to it, lent support to our claim that not many other researchers with similar qualifications can mirror our client’s successes. We used this and other evidence that we had gathered to convince the USCIS that our client is an asset to the United States and that halting his work would be detrimental to the nation.

“With over eleven years of hands-on experience in the field, [Client] is among the elite group of scientists who have produced practical results.”

Part of our legal approach involved understanding and summarizing our client’s research on algorithmic development for advanced cognitive radio performance and enhancing wireless network communications in the United States. His skilled capabilities to create spectrum sensing algorithms for cognitive radio over MIMO channels stemmed from his advanced educational background and years of experience in the field.

“[Client] has published extensively and his articles have received in excess of fifty citations to date, which is impressive since he is engaged in a field where publications are less popular due to the swift, ever-changing nature of his area of study.”

At the time of filing, our client had published 9 publications and according to Google Scholar, his work had garnered 64 citations.

The USCIS spent a tad over eight months adjudicating this NIW case. We are pleased that they found the combination of our persuasive presentation and our client’s strong credentials appealing. We would like to congratulate our client on this milestone, and we wish him well as he continues to advance his field of electrical engineering.
