Case Summary:

Whenever we at North America Immigration Law Group receive an EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver) applicant, we make sure to first explain to them the process for approval. Since we have been working for years with such clients, and have over 32,000 case approval under our belt, we are highly equipped to deal with any kind of immigrant or nonimmigrant visa case that comes to us. So when we received an I-140 NIW request from an Iranian expert in the field of electrical engineering we knew the path to take for her victory. Having explained the minute details of the case and signed the retainer with her, we began going through her documents to collect relevant data for her petition. Soon we had a list of facts including the following:

Her proposed endeavor was to work on the development of state-of-the-art approaches based on flexible sensor technology to improve methods for wound and surface sterilization. And this research was of great importance because it is directed toward developing new tools and methods for overcoming the challenges posed by pathogens in healthcare settings, including on surfaces and patients themselves.
Due to her knowledge and expertise in machine learning methods, flexible electronics, and sensor design, she has also been invited to conduct a peer review for an international conference in her field. Not only this, but her research has resulted in 5 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers (3 of them first-authored) which have been cited a total of 19 times, according to Google Scholar.
And finally, her 4 years of research in the field have been recognized by 2 recommending experts for its significance to the U.S.

All of these factors when woven together made for a very strong petition and won her the case approval without an RFE. We are proud to have worked with her and we thank her for choosing our firm to represent her in this case. We also wish her the very best of luck in her future endeavors.
