Success Stories: With Our Help, an Iranian Ph.D. Student in the Field of Mechanical Engineering Received an NIW Petition Approval in Less than 6 Months
Client’s Testimonial:
"Thank you so much for your help and I will refer my friends for sure to your office.”
On December 10th, 2019, we received another NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Ph.D. Student in the Field of Mechanical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Mechanical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Ph.D. Student
Country of Origin: Iran
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Wisconsin
Approval Notice Date: December 10th, 2019
Processing Time: 5 months, 12 days
Case Summary:
With an MS in mechanical engineering and many years of experience progressing in the same field, our client had suitable credentials to file his I-140 petition under EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). Our attorneys and support staff worked diligently to compile as much relevant information as we could to build a strong case for our client.
What did his winning NIW petition contain?
We noted his in 7 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 of them first-authored). We also documented the 61 times his work was cited by other notable researchers around the world. Furthermore, we incorporated recommendation letters signed by other experts in the field. According to one of these experts: “By developing a model for each process, he has provided valuable information and insight for manufacturers to increase the operational efficiency while designing the process. [Client] has certainly made significant progress in the field of Mechanical Engineering as it provides an avenue for fully optimizing design processes.”
Details regarding our client’s investigations also played a major role in the approval of his EB-2 NIW petition. Thanks to the comprehensive research summary he provided, we have in-depth understanding of his work on experimental and numerical investigations of friction-stir based processes to improve efficiency and optimization. Also, our client’s work has largely focused on practices for recycling magnesium machining chips. His research in this area is of great importance because it has utility in many industries, such as the construction, mining, and manufacturing industries.
Through extensive documentation, we were able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Our client received his approval notification in less than 6 months after filing. To obtain a green card, our client has to adjust his status for permanent residency by filing an I-485 application. We shared our complimentary D.I.Y Packet to help him with this, and we wish him the best with the final step in the green card process. In conclusion, we would like to thank our client for believing in our services and we wish him a bright future here in the United States.
