Success Stories: NIW Approval Confirmed for a Research Fellow in Electrical Engineering Without RFE, Thanks to Our Team’s Efforts

 

Client’s Testimonial:

“I am highly satisfied with your service…Thank you so much for your kind cooperation.”


On March 2nd, 2023, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Fellow in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).


General Field: Electrical Engineering

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Fellow

Country of Origin: Bangladesh

Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: Germany

Approval Notice Date: March 2nd, 2023

Processing Time: 6 months, 14 days


Case Summary:

Our team at NAILG assisted a German research fellow working in electrical engineering get his National Interest Waiver (NIW) approval by using the following information to write his petition letter:

  • As an expert in the field, his proposed endeavor was to continue developing energy system models to study the effects of large-scale integration of variable renewable generation at disaggregated and aggregated levels to expedite the global energy transition to clean energy and mitigate climate change.
  • His research endeavor was of great importance because it provides tools to study and model energy systems key to implementing renewable energy, which is critical as carbon dioxide emissions increase climate change and more countries the world over-push alternatives in the energy sector.
  • His endeavor also had broad implications for the United States, both because of the country’s interests in renewable energy production and in the growing prominence of smart homes in the country.
  • His work has contributed to desired advancements for renewable implementation in the United States, such as his aforementioned energy modeling research. He has also provided work critical to optimizing smart homes, another area that the United States is seeking to adopt more prominently.
  • Not only this, but he has completed at least 11 reviews to date and his research has resulted in 22 peer-reviewed journal and conference articles (6 of them first-authored).
  • Additionally, these publications have been cited a total of 240 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of electrical engineering.
  • Not only has he also been pursuing his proposed research for 11 years, but he has also been recognized by researchers and peers all over the world. Four such experts in the field also furnished him with letters of recommendation.
All of these facts when woven into his petition made for an impressive case at the USCIS winning him the EB2-NIW approval without an RFE. We are proud of having worked with him and helped him get this much-deserved approval.
