Success Stories: NAILG Helps a Research Assistant from Nepal Working in the field of Mechanical Engineering Get an NIW Approval
Client’s Testimonial:
“I appreciate your efforts in preparing and filing the petition correctly.”
On August 16th, 2021, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Assistant in the Field of Mechanical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Mechanical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Assistant
Country of Origin: Nepal
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New Hampshire
Approval Notice Date: August 16th, 2021
Processing Time: 10 months, 8 days
Case Summary:
North America Immigration Law Group has been at the forefront of finding the best legal representation for clients who want to immigrate to the United States for employment. Over the years we have accrued over 25,000 case approvals which has made us a formidable force in this line of work. We have gathered information on how to best prepare a case and lead it to victory. So when a client came to us for help with his EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver) case, we already knew how to help him win the case. We quickly mobilized our team to dig up his background information followed by collecting data on his publication and citation history. We had to find out if his work had received any national or international funding. We then suggested that he obtain 5 letters of recommendation from other experts in his field to corroborate the information we had put together for his application.
We explained in the petition that as an expert in the field of mechanical engineering, his proposed endeavor is to continue his research on using experimental-numerical approaches, including novel specimen designs and testing methods, to better understand the mechanical behavior of materials for the improvement of advanced forming technologies and for the enhanced design and optimization of products and manufacturing processes.
“[Client’] work with the plasticity and ductile fractures of aluminum alloys aligns with efforts in the United States automotive industry to improve the safety and the cost-efficiency of its vehicles. [Client’s] research offers novel data results that elucidate the fracture behavior of aluminum materials used to fabricate vehicles built in the United States. The results of [client’s] research will offer essential lessons and implications for car manufacturers and engineers to take steps to introduce more economical and safer vehicles.”
This testimonial and so many others that our client collected were further proof of the ongoing value of his research for the United States.
Along with it we also collected details of his publication and citation history that we then included in the petition packet. As evidence of his contributions, we indicated that his work has resulted in 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored), and these publications have been cited a total of 98 times according to Google Scholar. This made it evident once more that his research was indeed relevant to his field.
We are thus proud of having had the opportunity to represent him in this case. NAILG wishes him the very best of which we know he is capable.
