Success Stories: NIW Approved for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Field of Mechanical Engineering in Less than 9 Months, Without RFE
Client’s Testimonial:
"My case status is now changed to Approved!! Thank you for your great service and amazing support during this process.”
On February 5th, 2020, we received another NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Field of Mechanical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Mechanical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Researcher
Country of Origin: Iran
Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: Michigan
Approval Notice Date: February 5th, 2020
Processing Time: 8 months, 15 days
Case Summary:
The USCIS spent 8 months and 15 days reviewing our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition before granting their approval. Our client, a postdoctoral researcher from Iran, hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) because he knew that we would do everything we could to present a strong case to the USCIS on his behalf. As is apparent by the approval notice, we lived up to his expectations.
Persuasive Presentation:
With a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering and extensive mechanical engineering experience, our client had suitable qualifications to qualify for the national interest waiver. Furthermore, his professional qualifications strengthened the likelihood of him getting his petition approved. Here are some of the things we detailed in his EB-2 NIW petition packet: his peer review experience (29 reviews for various scientific journals), his citation count (117 citations at the time of filing), and his publication record (30 peer-reviewed journal and conference articles (18 of them first-authored) and one first-authored book chapter).
Strong Support:
Our client’s high standing in the field secured him numerous supporters, many of whom are his peers. We urged him to reach out to these experts in the field and request for several recommendation letters. Four experts agreed to endorse the approval of his EB-2 NIW petition by signing testimonials. Here is what one of these experts had to say about our client and his work: “Industries all over the world depend upon multiagent systems for their integrity and control, indicating that [client’s] work in improving these systems is widely beneficial.” Another supporter stated that: “[Client] has contributed important and innovative tools for integrating adaptive control in aircraft flight control systems and ensuring effective communication and collaboration within multiagent systems.”
Obtaining Petition Approval:
This EB-2 NIW petition approval serves as another example of our law firm’s dedication to helping every client get closer to a green card. We recently filed an I-485 application for him and his spouse, the final step in the green card process; they will become permanent residents as soon as the USCIS approves their applications. We join him as he waits for the I-485 decision and thank him for choosing us to be a part of his success.
