Success Stories: From Italy, An Aviation Systems & Human Factors Engineer in the Field of Aerospace Engineering with 34 Citations Secured NIW Approval
Client’s Testimonial:
“North American Immigration Law Group has been not only a pleasure to work with, but an extremely professional, prepared, and most importantly, available firm. From my first meeting with Dr. Chen I have felt that this firm would have solidly been at my side and provided me with an honest and realistic prospective. Throughout the immigration process, which can be truly overwhelming for a client, I received constant help and advice. There was a clear and quick two-way line of communication which made me feel very comfortable and present. Moreover, their online portal makes preparing and tracking documents extremely easy. I have already recommended North American Immigration Law Group to several colleagues and friends and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”

Case Summary:
The NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition approval was granted to an aviation systems & human factors engineer based in Missouri. Before signing the retainer agreement, the North American Immigration Law Group (NAILG) evaluated his submitted testimonies to determine NIW’s success. After a comprehensive background verification, we affirmed that we could help him to obtain the national interest waiver and chose to highlight the following details in his petition packet:
- Publication Record and Citation Count: We recorded the 14 peer-reviewed conference proceedings (8 of them first-authored) and one book chapter he published that garnered 34 citations. This demonstrated that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of aerospace engineering and how our client had a major influence on other scholars’ understanding of topics such as establishing relationships between movement and haptic feedback as well as target acquisition tactics in aircraft.
- Research Description: We also explained his research which focused on designing human-systems integrated technologies for flight systems. Our aim was to ascertain that his research in this area is of great importance because it addresses several prevalent yet ill-understood issues in aircraft, including commercial, private, and military flights. One issue that his research addresses is determining common causes of small aircraft accidents through simulations and human-systems integration upgrades.
- Recommendation Letters: To support that our client’s research is beneficial to the United States as it provides preventative measures against aircraft accidents and improves overall aircraft function, we included five recommendation letters signed by superiors in the field. The following recital is excerpted from one of these letters:
Successful Result: Successfully, we persuaded the USCIS that our client deserved to continue his research in the U.S. and eventually his NIW petition got approved. The entire team at North America Immigration Law Group would like to thank our client for associating with us and we also congratulate him on this great breakthrough.
