On June 17th, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Senior Engineer in the Field of Electrical Engineering. This client's NIW petition was filed by a previous lawyer, but he came to us for his RFE. (Approval Notice)

Case Summary:

The client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with in this case had his NIW petition letter filed by a previous lawyer. This client then came to us to file his RFE (Request for Evidence). This client is a senior engineer working in the field of electrical engineering. His work is directed at finding practical new applications for engineering technologies in several fields. In the RFE letter drafted, we demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering, including his contributions in major projects. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked:“[The Petitioner’s] help in the work that is fundamental to this effort to revolutionize the industry, and its importance cannot be overstated.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. With the RFE letter we drafted, his NIW application was approved in under 4 months.
