Success Stories: A Hardware Development Engineer 4 Working in the Field of Electronics Engineering from China Gets NIW Approval with Our Diligent Efforts
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thanks very much for all your hard work on refining the petition documents.”
On August 17th, 2021, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Hardware Development Engineer 4 in the Field of Electronics Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Electronics Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Hardware Development Engineer 4
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: August 17th, 2021
Processing Time: 9 months, 25 days
Case Summary:
“Electronics engineers are key to the design of items that range from consumer products like smartwatches to the transistors employed in supercomputing, manufacturing, and various other settings. Additionally, the fact that her work has been directly employed by [reputed company], one of the most valuable companies in the world and a global leader in electronics innovation, shows that her specialization has important applications.”
One of our client’s recommenders had the above to say regarding the import of her work to the world. Given that she has a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering, her work as a hardware development engineer 4 had already established her as a frontrunner in the electronics engineering field when she came to NAILG for help with her NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. So our team of experts made sure that her application was tailored to the best possible fit. This meant taking a deep dive into the details of her academic and professional career thus far and using information from this background check to build a solid case in her favor.
We made sure none of the important details were missed by making an inventory of her publication records, her citation count, patents, etc. These are listed below:
She had already built an impressive record of publications based on the research she had conducted in the past. Her work had resulted in 3 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 first-authored peer-reviewed conference paper, and 1 granted U.S. patent. Moreover, these papers have been published in the top journals in the field, reflecting her peers’ recognition of the value of this research. At the same time, these papers have been cited a total of 128 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of electronics engineering.
Her education, experience, expertise, record of publication and citation, and history of successful research in the field all indicated that she was well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor. These facts helped us to establish that it is beneficial to the United States to waive the requirements of a job offer and labor certification.
Thus, NAILG’s solid case building and presentation process helped her get her NIW approval in a short period of 298 days. We wish her all the very best in all of her future endeavors.
