On January 4th, 2016, we received another EB2- NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Geotechnical Engineer in the Field of Civil Engineering (Approval Notice).
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Geotechnical Engineer

North America Immigration Law Group recently worked with a geotechnical engineer from Iran who sought approval for an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. His research focuses on construction material design, and he has advanced degrees in the field of Civil Engineering. Currently, he is an engineer at a well-regarded firm. Essential to the approval of his petition was our thorough demonstration of the ways in which his work leads to longer-lasting, more cost-effective buildings, bridges and roads.
To increase the chance of success of our client’s I-140 petition, we proved that not only do his findings make valuable contributions to the construction sector in the United States, but that they also reduce the environmental impact of future construction projects. This was supported by one of our client’s independent recommenders who, in a letter we included in our client’s petition, wrote, “His studies were valuable to the civil engineering field, as they provided guidelines for others to find the optimum levels of metakaolin for concrete production. This type of blended concrete is stronger and longer lasting, therefore making it more environmentally sustainable and able to withstand extreme climates or chloride corrosive environments.”
At the time we filed the case, our client’s 25 conference papers and publications had resulted in 46 citations of his work. This was just some of the evidence we used in our argument that our client’s research is widely relied upon in his field, and that his continued work in the country benefits his field as well as the nation. His EB2- National Interest Waiver petition was approved after eight months and three days, and is yet another example of our firm’s remarkable record of success.
