On May 21st, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Mechanical Engineer in the Field of Mechanical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Mechanical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Mechanical Engineer
Country of Origin: Iran
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: May 21st, 2025
Processing Time: 1 month, 19 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
At North America Immigration Law Group, we are pleased to share another successful I-140 National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition approval for a Ph.D. holder in mechanical engineering. His case, filed under Premium Processing, was approved in just 1 month and 19 days.
Our client is a mechanical engineer specializing in the development of cyber-physical systems and digital twins for use in smart manufacturing. His proposed endeavor focuses on enhancing human-machine interaction, optimizing real-time decision-making, and enabling zero-defect production through innovations in mechatronics, robotics, and AI-integrated manufacturing systems. At the time of filing, he was employed in the U.S. as a mechanical engineer and actively involved in projects related to advanced electromechanical systems for electric vehicles.
To support the petition, we highlighted the following:
Publications and Citations: He has authored 3 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 first-authored), all published in top-tier venues in the field of manufacturing technology. His work has earned 32 citations, including multiple citations in high-impact publications across robotics, simulation, and engineering systems.
Peer Review Contributions: He has completed 14 peer reviews for prominent academic journals, affirming his role as a trusted authority in the field.
Significance and Impact: His research bridges traditional manufacturing techniques with real-time, AI-supported cyber-physical systems. His contributions to cutting-force prediction, milling process efficiency, and real-time mechanical simulation have supported advances in precision machining and electric vehicle manufacturing.
We also submitted 2 strong recommendation letters from leading experts in mechanical and manufacturing engineering, confirming the originality and importance of his work. One recommender remarked:
“In conclusion, the importance of [Client’s] research to the discovery of dynamic modeling frameworks for complex autonomous machines is evident, given the breakthroughs that his research has fostered in these areas and the field of mechanical engineering more generally. Ensuring that [Client’s] work proceeds is thus not only important to the field but to the US as well.”
We are proud to have supported this exceptional engineer’s journey to NIW approval and look forward to his continued contributions to the advancement of smart manufacturing and electromechanical innovation in the United States.
