Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you for your information and all the help throughout the process. It was very clear and helpful.”
On February 9th, 2023, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Senior Thermal Modeling Engineer in the Field of Mechanical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Mechanical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Thermal Modeling Engineer
Country of Origin: Turkey
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: February 9th, 2023
Processing Time: 4 months, 3 days
Case Summary:
“The United States is home to nearly 900 high-rise buildings that contain both commercial businesses and private residences. Although high-rise structures offer an effective way to meet the real estate needs of many individuals and businesses simultaneously, their compact nature makes them a notable safety hazard in disaster scenarios… Since fires in high-rise buildings are often unpredictable and pose a threat to all of a building’s residents, fire response strategies for high-rises are of pressing importance for America’s urban areas. [The client’s] safety models are fast, convenient, and proven tools for the evaluation of fire scenarios in high-rise buildings, making his research a force for residential and business safety on a national scale.”
Achieved the above-mentioned statement by one of the client’s recommenders, another established expert in the field of mechanical engineering, who has provided further detail on the importance of our client’s proposed endeavor, as well as his previous work, to the United States. This recommendation letter helped us to prove that our client is indeed a valued member of the American scientific community and thus his work should continue here in the U.S. Therefore, we ensured to lead his case towards victory by highlighting some of the relevant factors in his petition packet:
- Our client’s proposed endeavor is to continue his research into the creation of thermal engineering models and conduct related experiments to facilitate the development of safe energy storage and infrastructure.
- We concluded that his research is of great importance because it helps surmount a major obstacle facing the widespread adoption of renewable energy storage platforms.
- His specialized research also has broad implications for the United States as it facilitates the nationwide adoption of advanced renewable energy platforms, including next-generation battery storage systems.
- Given its national importance, he received funding support as well from the prestigious United States Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), validating the practical value of his work to the United States.
- Moreover, his research has resulted in 5 peer-reviewed journal articles, as well as 3 first-authored conference papers and a first-authored book chapter. These publications were and these publications were published in no fewer than 2 highly-ranked peer-reviewed journals and have been cited a total of 35 times by other experts in the field.
- In addition to his lifesaving research on fire safety modeling, he has also contributed his review expertise to the field of mechanical engineering 3 times. Conference committees rely on reviewer scrutiny to ensure that the work they feature is of the highest integrity and overall scientific relevance. Thus, our client’s recurring participation in peer review speaks to the confidence that academic authorities place in his competence as a mechanical engineer.
