Success Stories: Comprehensive Petition Led to NIW Approval for Ph.D. Student in the Field of Electrical Engineering in Less than 6 Months
Client’s Testimonial:
"Thanks for all your work during the process of applying for NIW.”
On January 21st, 2020, we received another NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Ph.D. Student in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Electrical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Ph.D. Student
Country of Origin: Iran
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: January 21st, 2020
Processing Time: 5 months, 19 days
Case Summary:
Not long ago, a Ph.D. Student from Iran received the good news that the USCIS had approved his EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. With extensive experience working in the field of electrical engineering, our client also holds a M.S. in the same field. Amongst other things, these qualifications ensured his eligibility for the national interest waiver.
In order to prove to the USCIS that our client deserved to get one step closer to his green card, we gathered a wealth of information on his diverse achievements in the field. From his citation count to publication record (51 and 14 respectively at the time of filing), we listed it all. We also noted the 4 times he assessed the work of his peers which demonstrated his position as a leading expert in his field. To strengthen his case, we incorporated 5 recommendation letters signed by other influential members of the research community. These experts strongly advocated for the approval of our client’s EB-2 NIW petition by signing off statements such as these:
- “[Client] research on the circularly polarized light on AFM provides a clear path forward to overcoming this diffraction limit for the development of new, ultra-fast and ultra-high-density storage solutions. For these reasons, I strongly believe that the continuation of his work is in the best interest of facilitating advances in electronics construction and maintaining U.S. leadership in technological development.”
- “Thus, to the benefit of the world patient population, [client] research directly enables necessary leaps and strides in tracking bodily degeneration and mechanical stress as well as the relationship between degradative conditions and stiffness structures found in given a tissue sample.”
The approval of this petition is yet another example of our firm’s excellent record of helping our clients secure I-140 approval. We thank our client for selecting us to represent his NIW case and trusting us for his I-485 application.
