Case Summary:
Based on the huge number of successful cases, North America Immigration Law Group has developed the most up-to-date winning strategies for the NIW category, which enable us to offer our “Approval or Refund” services to many of the NIW cases we take.

- The foreign national must be in a position to advance the proposed endeavor.
- The applicant must present evidence that the U.S. would benefit on balance to waive the job offer criteria for an EB-2.
- A proposed endeavor, holding substantial merit and national importance.
- His work has resulted in 7 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored), 3 peer-reviewed conference articles, and 3 technical reports, cited a total of 42 times according to Google Scholar.
- He has completed at least 7 peer reviews to date.
- His research has been supported with funding from the Federal Highway Administration and the Colorado Department of Transportation which is reserved solely for research directed at advancing the national interest.

Consequently, our client’s proposed endeavor is to continue his research on developing computer codes and performing full-scale experiments for the non-destructive testing of pile foundations and concrete structures to improve transportation infrastructure health monitoring and thus is relevant to determining the structural and foundational health of bridges.
Therefore, he got a conclusive response from the adjudicating judge and received his NIW approval without any further request for evidence [RFE]. We are pleased to be a part of his journey and congratulate him for showing his patience throughout the process. We wish him the very best in his life.
