 Case Summary:

“[Client] has made fundamental advances in both WSN and AOA technology that have improved the accuracy and detection methods of WSNs and AOA measurements. The technology that [Client] has drastically improved is used to, quite literally, save lives and keep people safe.”

This glowing review of our client’s work was offered by an expert electrical engineer. He and four other experts contributed recommendation letters in support of our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Our client, who is from Iran, developed a semidefinite programming algorithm for performing sensor network localization when the source transmit powers are different or unknown. As accurate location information is used in emergency response such as locating firemen and tracking airplanes, we demonstrated that our client’s research is valuable to the United States.

Taken together, his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, 210 citations, and 22 published papers established our client’s influence in the field of electrical engineering and made him a suitable candidate for EB-2 NIW.

Our client filed his I-485 application while his I-140 was pending approval, and received his green card a month after the latter was approved. We congratulate him on reaching the finish line and wish him the best in his future endeavors in the United States.
