Success Stories: Comprehensive Petition Led to NIW Approval for Data Scientist in the Field of Mechanical Engineering Without RFE
Client’s Testimonial:
"Thank you so much for your help.”
On December 17th, 2019, we received another NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Data Scientist in the Field of Mechanical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Mechanical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Data Scientist
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Tennessee
Approval Notice Date: December 17th, 2019
Processing Time: 5 months, 2 days
Case Summary:
Not long ago, a data scientist from China received the good news that the USCIS had approved his EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. With extensive experience working in the field of mechanical engineering, our client also holds a Ph.D. in the same field. Amongst other things, these qualifications ensured his eligibility for the national interest waiver.
In order to prove to the USCIS that our client deserved to get one step closer to his green card, we gathered a wealth of information on his diverse achievements in the field. From his citation count to publication record (53 and 6 respectively at the time of filing), we listed it all. We also noted the 17 times he assessed the work of his peers which demonstrated his position as a leading expert in his field. To strengthen his case, we incorporated 6 recommendation letters signed by other influential members of the mechanical engineering research community. These experts strongly advocated for the approval of our client’s EB-2 NIW petition by signing off statements such as these:
- “Indeed, [client’s] development of a new reliability analysis method has significantly improved the previous method widely used within the field. In addition, this method is more cost-effective and easier to implement, making it a benefit to both the field at large as well as the various industries that depend upon reliability estimate for their regular performance activities.”
- “[Client] is a talented researcher who has made beneficial and influential advancements in the field of mechanical engineering, specifically in the areas of surrogate modeling and uncertainty quantification.”
We are pleased that our hard work paid off and that our client secured the national interest waiver. We thank him for choosing us to represent his NIW petition and we wish him the best as he continues to perform impactful research in the United States.
