Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for Postdoctoral Fellow in North Carolina in the Field of Electrical Engineering
Client’s Testimonial:
I have received the update from USCIS that my case has been approved. I would like to thank all of you for this to happen.
On January 15, 2015, We Received EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval (Approval Notice) for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Field of Electrical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Fellow
Country of Origin: Nepal
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: North Carolina
Approval Notice Date: January 15th, 2015
Processing Time: 6 Months, 16 Days
In this case, North America Immigration Law Group was given the opportunity to work with an electrical engineer from Nepal whose research was particularly focused on power electronics, with topics including the design and optimization of solid state transformers, AC-DC power converters, and energy-efficient systems with minimal electric noise interference. We showed that his continued employment in his field would benefit both his field in particular and the populace of the United States as a whole. His work had been published in 2 peer-reviewed journal articles as well as 18 conference papers. At the time we filed his case, these publications had received no fewer than 143 citations from independent researchers around the world, a strong testament to the wide reliance upon this research in the field as well as the broad recognition it has received. An independent recommender emphasized the importance of our client’s work: “Improvement of motor drives is extremely beneficial for maximizing product quality of numerous technologies, and thereby increases the revenue associated with all of the corresponding industries. Development of novel control algorithms are essential in the precision control of robotics, as well as in devices involved with high density data storage, fiber fabrication, and optical mounting. I cannot overstate the importance and quality of [Client’s] research on high precision control of ultrasonic motors.” Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in six months and sixteen days.
