Success Stories: NIW Approval for an Associate Professor in Renewable Energy Generation and Storage Received in Just 3 Months with Our Help
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thanks a lot for sharing the news of I-140 approval. I am very happy to hear this!”
On September 20th, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Associate Professor in the Field of Renewable Energy Generation and Storage (Approval Notice).
General Field: Renewable Energy Generation and Storage
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Associate Professor
Country of Origin: Pakistan
Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: Pakistan
Approval Notice Date: September 20th, 2022
Processing Time: 3 months, 4 days
Case Summary:
An expert in the field of renewable energy generation and storage, who wanted to continue his research on developing state-of-the-art sustainable energy technologies for transportation, buildings, industries, and power generation came to our firm seeking help with his NIW(National Interest Waiver) petition. His work was aimed at supporting economic growth and energy security while decreasing the impact of greenhouse gas emissions and because it directly facilitates improvements to one of the world’s greatest contributors to climate change: vehicle emissions, his work was of evident importance for the country. His research into gasoline alternatives, providing both greater fuel efficiency and reducing the environmental impact, is in strong support of national and global targets.
Moreover, in addition to the obvious benefits of combating climate change, the pursuit of energy efficiency also provides other benefits, including alleviation of poverty, economic development, job creation, and improving public health. Thus one of his 4 recommenders said:
“[The client’s] work on laser gas sensors addresses the root cause – the transportation industry is one of the largest consumers of energy in the world, and gasoline comprises over half of the transportation fuel. Because [the client’s] work directly improves the efficiency of gasoline usage, his work provides an immediate benefit to both the world and other researchers working on their own fuel-related projects.”
Another recommending expert wrote:
“[The client’s] research on fuel and energy technologies, therefore, affects almost every major sector responsible for energy consumption and global emissions, and his work on improving fuel efficiency through clean, practical substitutes to conventional fuels allow the world to collectively lower emissions by enabling inventors and researchers to create better, more efficient engines and fuel types.”
So, it was clear to us that his proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States since moving away from traditional energy sources and developing sustainable, renewable, economical energy sources are one of the most important ways to meet the greenhouse gas pollution reduction goals set by the U.S. federal government and the Paris Agreement. His work on improving renewable energy capacity in air-conditioned units, therefore, is extremely pertinent to energy considerations in the U.S.
It was due to its clear national importance that his research has in fact been supported with funding from USAID. Not only this but his research has resulted in 18 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored) and 4 peer-reviewed conference papers (3 of them first-authored) which have been cited a total of 227 times according to Google Scholar.
Thus, he has pursued research directly related to his proposed endeavor of developing state-of-the-art sustainable energy technologies for transportation, buildings, industries, and power generation for 18 years now. This has given him immense experience and added to his worth to the nation.
We are proud to have worked with him and helped him get the NIW approval in 3 months and 4 days only.
