Case Summary:

This time we were given the opportunity to work with an engineer from Iran specializing in control and dynamical systems, which encompasses such application areas as robotics, dynamics, control of power and vehicle systems, and biomechanics. We submitted extensive documentation proving the high significance of his contributions to his field, including his 2 peer-reviewed journal articles and 11 conference papers - a body of work that had received 52 citations by the time we filed his case. The great majority of these citations are from independent researchers distributed worldwide, demonstrating the wide reliance upon and recognition of our client’s work in his field. An independent recommender affirmed the importance of his work: “…These projects also highlight [Client’s] value to the fields of mechanical, electrical and computer engineering as well as the emerging field of biologically inspired robots. These advanced systems have many diverse applications, from surveillance to search and rescue missions to traffic monitoring, and, thus [Client’s] work in this realm has great value to a variety of industries and to the United States as a whole, economically and in terms of the safety and well-being of United States citizens.” We successfully demonstrated that our client’s continued employment in the field would benefit the people of the United States as a whole as well as his fellow researchers, and argued that he would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 28 days.
