Case Summary:
A research assistant based in New Hampshire engaged the services of the North America Immigration Law Group to furnish an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition representing him. For honing our client’s petition, we assembled all the relevant information to be submitted to the USCIS. We validated that he held a B.Sc. in industrial engineering and management and an M.Sc. in engineering technology with a record of remarkable publication, and citations in the same field implying that he is an excellent expert to benefit the field of mechanical engineering here in the United States.
We added the following details in his petition packet based on his substantial credentials:
Research Crisp: We put some light on his research on developing and enhancing PCMs through observation and improvement of their fabrication processes as a means of obtaining superior energy storage devices and how his work in the field is of great importance because it contributes to the improvement of technology that is not only highly valued but also common and increasingly common around the world.
Citation Count, Publication Record, and Peer-review Experience: We embellished how our client’s work spurred his peers and accumulated 92 citations from the 4 peer-reviewed journal articles and 10 peer-reviewed conference proceedings papers (3 of them first-authored) he published. Also, we recorded that he has been regularly invited to conduct peer review for elite conferences and journals in the field, and conducted 6 reviews, demonstrating his great position in the field.
Recommendation Letter: Moreover, our client obtained five recommendation letters from fellow superiors working in the same field. We added all the obtained letters in his petition packet, and according to one of his recommenders:
“His innovative radar system allows governments in the United States to better manage bridge repair operations by directing their resources where they are most urgently needed. As such, [client’s] work is an asset to the United States.”
Successful Result: We are ecstatic to be a part of this success story, as our client successfully achieved his NIW approval that too without an RFE. Our supporting team would like to thank and congratulate him for trusting us and continue with his proposed research work.
