On July 10th, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Senior Verification and Validation Engineer in the field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice)

General Field: Electrical Engineering Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Verification and Validation Engineer Country of Origin: Pakistan Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Virginia Approval Notice Date: July 10, 2013 Processing Time: 4 ½ months

Case Summary:

Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with was a Senior Verification and Validation Engineer from Pakistan working in the field of electrical engineering and specializing in power electronics system control. We did not handle his I-140 filing; this client sought our assistance after receiving an RFE. This client wished to seek continued employment in the field of electrical engineering. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates 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 at least 3 publications in peer-reviewed journals, 12 peer-reviewed conference publications, and 8 conference presentations. These publications had been cited at least 48 times at the time of case filing. Of his accomplishments, one of the recommenders remarked: “[Client] … learned FMEA specific to power electronics and control systems in very short time while performing research and development. This is a remarkable achievement for a young engineer, and demonstrates the rare skill-set possessed by [client]. […] His special combination of FMEA talent, testing control algorithms written in “C” and power electronics circuit analysis makes him unique and superior over others in the same field. It is very unlikely that any of [client’s] peers would have been able to experience the success that he did while working on this project.” 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. His NIW application was approved: 4 ½ months after we responded to his RFE.
