“Thank you so much for bringing us the good news. We really appreciate your help and efforts in making this happen.”

On September 15^th, 2023, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Senior Software Engineer in the Field of Mechanical Engineering (Approval Notice).

General Field: Mechanical Engineering

Case Summary:

Our firm was hired by a Chinese senior software engineer with a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering to assist him in filing a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. We found that he was developing vehicle dynamics modeling, parameterization, and control synthesis approaches to enhance the vehicle dynamics performance and efficiency of off-road vehicles and heavy equipment. The merit of the proposal is readily apparent as the proposed endeavor to innovate vehicle dynamics models, parameterization methods, and control synthesis to improve off-road vehicle performance has a direct impact on the rapidly expanding global off-road vehicle market, which was valued at approximately $22.09 billion in 2022, and it is projected to reach a value of $32.94 billion by 2030. This research could also help the U.S. auto industry to maintain competitiveness against competing manufacturers. Based on the information we were able to find, his customized petition was drafted with the above details, as well as the following details:

He has a good record of publications, with 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (6 of them first-authored) and 6 peer-reviewed conference articles (5 of them first-authored).
The influence of his work is significant, having been cited 194 times at the time of the petition, with at least 4 of his papers being among the most highly cited in their field and year of publication.
Our client’s work has also received support from the International Society for Terrain-Vehicle Systems (ISTVS) and the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), proving that his work has enough merit to receive institutional support.
Furthermore, our client has also been involved in the peer review process, having performed 17 reviews at the time of the petition.
Lastly, our client has also received letters of recommendation from 5 experts, one of whom said:

“[Client]’s capabilities are a result of his comprehensive academic background. He completed his B.Eng. in mechanical engineering jointly at [University], and then went on to earn his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at [University]. He has held a variety of private sector roles and is currently a Senior Software Engineer. When considering this alongside the importance of his research and his role as a peer reviewer, [Client] has proven his worth to the United States and I emphatically recommend that he be allowed to continue his work here.”

To conclude, after the work done by our committed team, alongside the USCIS’s premium processing service, we managed to get approval in just 2 days. We thank our client for having faith in our team and wish him the best.
