Success Stories: NSC Approves NIW Petition of Senior Electron Optics Engineer from China in the Field of Electrical Engineering with 48 Citations
Client’s Testimonial:
"Thank you for your work!”
On April 1st, 2020, we received another NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Senior Electron Optics Engineer in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Electrical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Electron Optics Engineer
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: April 1st, 2020
Processing Time: 10 months, 12 days
Case Summary:
With a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, there is no denying that our client ( a senior electron optics engineer from China) is capable of carrying out effective research in the field of electrical engineering. Her work has led to various accomplishments, a couple of which include: 9 publications to her name, peer-review experience and 48 citations gathered from her findings, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of electrical engineering.
So how did we convince the USCIS to approve our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition?
When preparing her petition packet, we paid close attention to her work on improving silicon photonic structures’ sensing applications. We gathered a wealth of information that proved her research in her area is of great importance because it improves solar cell technology, which the planet urgently requires to combat the effects of anthropogenic climate change.
We also urged our client to obtain outside support through means of recommendation letters. To our delight, six other experts in the field of electrical engineering stood by our client and advocated for the approval of her NIW petition. They contributed strong recommendation letters, one of which contained this statement:
“With her research, [client] has made tremendous enhancements to both sensor arrays and solar cells. She has thus cemented her reputation as one of the most impactful scientists in the field of electrical engineering.”
Successful Result:Overall, our client waited 10 months and 12 days for NSC to take action on her petition. We congratulate her for securing the national interest waiver, and we wish her the best as she continues to advance the field of electrical engineering with her impressive research.
