Client’s Testimonial:

“Working with WeGreened was an excellent experience. Their team was knowledgeable, organized, and highly effective in presenting my academic and industry contributions for my National Interest Waiver petition. The process was clear, professional, and ultimately successful. I would strongly recommend them to researchers and professionals pursuing an NIW.”

On September 8^th, 2026, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Assistant in the Field of Artificial Intelligence (Approval Notice).

General Field: Artificial Intelligence

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Assistant

Country of Origin: Turkey

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Pennsylvania

Approval Notice Date: September 8^th, 2026

Processing Time: 1 month, 26 days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

Holding a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, the client currently works as a senior research engineer. His proposed endeavor focuses on developing and evaluating robotics, computer vision, and artificial intelligence frameworks.

Academic Contributions and Credentials

To demonstrate that the client was well-positioned to advance his endeavor under Matter of Dhanasar, North America Immigration Law Group (Chen Immigration Law Associates) presented a comprehensive evidentiary record highlighting his scientific standing. His relevant credentials included:

155 total citations accrued across his published body of work from independent researchers globally
8 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 first-authored), 7 peer-reviewed conference articles (5 first-authored), 1 first-authored conference abstract, and 420 technical reports (378 sole-authored)
At least 1 completed peer review for an authoritative international mechatronics conference
2 articles ranking among the top 10% and top 20% most-cited publications in computer science for their respective publication years
Major federal research grant support funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse

Rather than presenting raw metrics as self-evidently sufficient, the petition provided detailed bibliometric contextualization for the USCIS adjudicator.

NIW Approval and Outlook

The petition was further corroborated by 4 recommendation letters from field experts who confirmed the national importance, practical necessity, and technical rigor of his research. One expert noted:

“As outlined above, [Client’s] research represents a meaningful advancement in the artificial intelligence field.”

By connecting his extensive publication record, technical reports, citation percentiles, federal grant backing, independent reliance, and expert endorsements into a cohesive narrative, we presented a compelling case.

Filed under Direct Premium Processing, USCIS approved the I-140 NIW petition in just 57 days without a Request for Evidence. We congratulate the client on this NIW approval and look forward to his continued contributions to artificial intelligence, robotics, and critical infrastructure protection in the United States.
