Success Stories: NIW Petition Approved for Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer in Michigan in the Field of Mechanical Engineering
On November 19th, 2014 We Received EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval (Approval Notice) for a Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer in the Field of Mechanical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer
Country of Origin: Iran
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Michigan
Approval Notice Date: November 19th, 2014
Processing Time: 4 Months, 4 Days
In this case we were given a chance to work with an Iranian mechanical engineer with a particular focus on fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics. We successfully demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would benefit those in his field, as well as the citizens of the United States at large. In order for our client’s case to be successful, we submitted substantial documentation of his contributions to his field and their high significance, including his 7 peer-reviewed scientific articles and numerous conference papers, a body of work which had received at least 37 citations at the time we filed his case. The majority of these citations came from independent researchers around the world, indicating the wide recognition of and reliance upon our client’s work in his field. The importance of his work was established by this independent recommender: “He conducted an extensive three -part research project [on particle resuspension]….This work has broad applications in the study of particle dynamics in the indoor environment. In addition to the public health implications mentioned above, the work has applications in the semiconductor, xerographic, and the pharmaceutical industries” Through this and other extensive documentation, we successfully argued that our client, if permitted to continue his work in the United States, would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar educational and experiential credentials, and his NIW petition was approved in four months and four days.
