Success Stories: A Turkish Graduate Research Assistant in Civil Engineering Wins NIW Approval in Just 2 Months and 13 Days, and Credit Goes to Our Expert Case Preparation
Client’s Testimonial:
“I really appreciate your help throughout the process, it was a pleasure to work with you.”
On May 14th, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Graduate Research Assistant in the Field of Civil Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Civil Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Graduate Research Assistant
Country of Origin: Turkey
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Virginia
Approval Notice Date: May 14th, 2022
Processing Time: 2 months, 13 days
Case Summary:
A Turkish expert in civil engineering with a proposed endeavor to develop advanced multifunctional polymer and concrete composites came to our firm seeking assistance with his NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval. His work’s aim was to sustainably meet various performance requirements in structural applications including automotive, aeronautics, and electronics industries. Thus, it was without doubt of great substantial merit and national importance. Among other applications, his research was also relevant to advancing the nanocomposite and construction markets. According to Markets and Markets, the nanocomposites market is projected to grow from 4.1 billion USD in 2019 to 8.5 billion USD in 2024, making our client’s work even more relevant.
He has spent his research career developing and characterizing nanocomposite materials for hybrid composite fabrication. This research has directly resulted in improved mechanical properties of hybrid composites and has provided the field with applicable results and novel methodologies. As one of the main components of the U.S. economy, the construction market requires research that improves the quality of materials used while lowering the cost of production and maintenance. Thus, it was evident to our team that his work would continue to grow in relevance in the future. This is why one of his 4 recommenders wrote:
“[Client’s] work on developing nanocomposite materials is important for applications such as construction. The market size for the U.S. construction sector was valued at 1.36 trillion USD in 2020 and is currently expected to decline while U.S. spending on private construction continues to increase. Because of this, it is clear that [the client’s] work holds significant value towards the United States and will continue to do so while conducting research in his field.”
At the same time, his research has resulted in 2 peer-reviewed journal articles (both of them first-authored) and 5 conference papers (3 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 43 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of civil engineering.
Thus, when we took into account all of these factors and his 4 years of experience in the field, we were certain that his case would be approved. And that is exactly what happened with him getting the approval only 2 months and 13 days later.
