On September 5, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Research Assistant in the field of Electrical Engineering and Wireless Telecommunications (Approval Notice)

General Field: Electrical Engineering and Wireless Telecommunications Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Assistant Country of Origin: Iran Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California Approval Notice Date: September 5, 2013 Processing Time: 8 months (7 days after responding to RFE)

Case Summary:

Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a research assistant from Iran working in the field of electrical engineering and wireless telecommunications. He had focused most of his work specifically on MIMO-OFDM systems where he has designed a MIMO-OFDM transceiver and also worked on mixed-signal circuit design. We at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com 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 and wireless telecommunications, including at least 6 peer-reviewed scientific articles in leading journals, and 10 peer-reviewed published proceedings and conference articles. His publications had been cited at least 76 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “[Client] proposed a ML algorithm to simultaneously estimate interference and channels for all new users. His use of the EM principle for OFDMA synchronization in a MIMO system had not been done before, and his results proved to be statistically significant. OFDMA is the future of wireless technology, and it supports high data transmission over the air and can bolster more users than common systems. [Client’s] demonstrated research success requires a very specialized training, making his skills a limited commodity.” Through extensive documentation, we at North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved just 7 days after responding to the RFE.
