Case Summary:

In this case we were offered the opportunity to work with an Ecuadorian electrical engineer, who had focused specifically on communications and networking for medical applications. As part of our successful strategy for our client’s case, we submitted extensive documentation proving his highly significant contributions to his field, which included 2 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous conference papers and presentations. This work had received at least 40 citations by the time we filed his case, nearly all of which were by independent researchers around the world, demonstrating the wide recognition of and reliance upon our client’s work in his field. We also showed that his continued employment in his field would benefit both his field as a whole and the people of the United States in general. An independent recommender confirmed the importance of his work: “[Client’s] research is making a difference in the way we study and understand important electrical engineering concepts. His novel findings relating to wireless medical devices have applications in important areas of healthcare. His studies are also helping to advance industry from the bottom up, revolutionizing techniques and methods for the development of next-generation technologies.” We successfully argued 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 4 months and 11 days.
