Approval Notice Date: January 30th, 2020
Processing Time: 5 months, 22 days
Case Summary:
Not long ago, a system engineer from Iran received the good news that the USCIS had approved his EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. With extensive experience working in the field of computer engineering, our client 's qualifications ensured his eligibility for the national interest waiver.
In order to prove to the USCIS that our client deserved to get one step closer to his green card, we gathered a wealth of information on his diverse achievements in the field. From his citation count to publication record (116 and 12 respectively at the time of filing), we listed it all. We also noted the 30 times he assessed the work of his peers which demonstrated his position as a leading expert in his field. To strengthen his case, we incorporated 4 recommendation letters signed by other influential members of the computer engineering research community. These experts strongly advocated for the approval of our client’s EB-2 NIW petition by signing off statements such as these:
- “Robotic surgery is already advantageous to surgeons and patients due to its high degree of precision, but [client] has made it even more beneficial by reducing impairments caused by the human hand’s tremor. Remarkably, the direct result of [client’s] work is that more surgeons can perform the highly delicate procedures made possible by robotic surgery.”
- “As several prominent U.S. industry leaders - including Ford, Google, and Tesla – pursue autonomous vehicles, expertise in the combined areas of robotics, artificial intelligence, and software engineering is essential. Therefore, the continuation of [client’s] research in the United States is of clear benefit, as he has already made a significant impact in this field and is assured to continue to do so.”
We are pleased that our hard work paid off and that our client secured the national interest waiver in less than 6 months. We thank him for choosing us to represent his NIW petition and retaining us for his I-485 application.
