Success Stories: A Scientific Engineering Associate in Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh Obtains NIW Approval in Less Than 5 Months, Thanks to Our Team’s Help
Client’s Testimonial:
“I would like to share my heartfelt gratitude as my I-140 has been approved in May, 2022. I am very much grateful for your support.”
On May 21st, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Scientific Engineering Associate in the Field of Electronic Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Electronic Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Scientific Engineering Associate
Country of Origin: Bangladesh
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: May 21st, 2022
Processing Time: 4 months, 15 days
Case Summary:
One of the important ways of testing a petitioner’s worthiness for a visa is to look at the funding or financial aid they may have received in the past. So when we got an NIW (National Interest Waiver) client from Bangladesh, we made sure to look at the funds he had received. To our surprise, we discovered that he had 4 funding from various organizations from all around the world namely, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as from the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Along with this information, we collected some other supporting facts such as:
- He is an expert in the field of electronic engineering, and his proposed endeavor is to continue his research on semiconductor microfabrication process development, device design and characterization, modeling, and meteorological studies in order to perform processing and diagnostic work to improve the devices used to carry out scientific and clinical research.
- His work related to semiconductor microfabrication has great substantial merit and national importance. Among other applications, his work is relevant to biomedical research, healthcare, and manufacturing and his work is of great importance because it has led to the development of advanced, high-performance semiconductor devices for a wide variety of scientific applications.
- He is familiar with the challenges in the field and has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to overcome them via unique technical innovations that heighten a sensor’s sensitivity to target biological entities and improve its specificity in distinguishing between those and non-targets.
- His 14 years of work in the field have resulted in 5 peer-reviewed journal articles (all of them first-authored). Not only this, but his research has also gone on to influence his peers. That is, these publications have been cited a total of 36 times according to Google Scholar.
- On the other hand, the import of his work has been corroborated by 4 letters of recommendation of which one wrote:
Hence, overall his work in semiconductor-based sensor engineering plays a direct role in helping the United States to maintain and secure its position as a global leader in the chemical and biosensor market. These arguments helped win his case without an RFE and that too in a short period of 4 months and 15 days. We are proud of having helped him and we wish him all the best for his future.
