The statement above is from a distinguished expert supporting our client’s study, included in a recommendation letter for our client seeking to file for an EB-2 NIW.

Our client, an aerospace engineer, aims to qualify for the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition by demonstrating that their proposed endeavor holds substantial merit and national importance, that they are well-suited to pursue it, and that waiving the job offer and labor certification requirement would benefit the United States. Our client's engineering study is focused on developing novel remote-sensing satellite missions that identify high-frequency changes on Earth to enable and inform the development of remote-sensing missions and their derived applications.

Our firm has built a strong reputation for effectively managing EB-2 NIW petitions, so we customized his petition packet according to his academic qualifications and achievements:

  • With a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering Sciences, our client is an advanced degree holder.
  • Our client’s research has resulted in 1 first-authored peer-reviewed journal article and 11 abstracts (8 of them first-authored).
  • Our client’s work has been cited a total of 34 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of aerospace engineering.
  • Our client’s study has received funding from NASA’s Earth Surface and Interior, therefore serves as evidence that it offers valuable insights for the organizations as the study focuses on satellite constellation designs to enhance the ability to monitor temporal variations in Earth’s gravity field.
Our client’s application was approved in 85 days with no RFE issuance. This approval reflects our team's diligent effort on the petition, combined with premium processing. We anticipate seeing our client make further successful contributions and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
