North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com successfully handled the case of a power electronics engineer living in Pennsylvania. The client originated from Iran, and his work had focused on the design, modeling, and development of advanced power electronic converters used for distributing electrical power. As an electrical engineer focusing on power electronics, he has published in the top journals and conference proceedings of his field, has won prestigious awards for his contributions, has been cited extensively by researchers from around the world, and has even had his work patented. We used his experience and demonstrated expertise to prove that his continued employment in the field of Power Electronics would advance his field, as well as provide benefits for the citizens of the United States at large. In order to achieve this success for our client’s case, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, including 10 peer-reviewed journal articles. His publications had been cited at least 41 times at the time we filed the case; nearly all of the citations were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field. We were also able to submit evidence of the review work he has performed, which testifies to his high standing in the field. The inherent merit of his work was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “In this context, [Client] has suggested an accurate discrete-time model for multiphase DC-DC converters. He has also posited a similar high-fidelity discrete-time modeling framework for multiport converters. This work is crucial for its handling of the interleaving switching scheme that is exhibited by multiphase and multiport converters. By using the Floquet theory, it also prevents assumptions of averaging techniques, with a simple final model, suitable for design. Moreover, the framework is capable of modeling sampling effect, modulator effect, and propagation delays. This is an unmistakable improvement on previous continuous-time modeling of multiport converters, which have been inaccurate and inefficient.” 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 3 months and 21 days.
