Case Summary:
Our high-skilled team at North America Immigration Law Group is extremely strategic in determining what exactly each client requires in order to present an immaculate case for a National Interest Waiver (NIW). Since we have successfully dealt with over 25,000 cases, our approach certainly hinges on delivering only the most relevant and persuasive evidence with each petition. Our client, a research assistant from Iran, whose approval we are highlighting here hired us to help her in filing her NIW case by ensuring that her unique achievements and abilities in the field of electrical engineering are effectively showcased.
We started by noting that she received an M.Sc. in electrical engineering; sought to file an NIW based on her research to continue developing state-of-the-art techniques for inspecting the materials and structures used in industrial and public environments. After reviewing her research thoroughly, we concluded that her work is of great importance because it provides a cost-effective mechanism for monitoring and preserving infrastructure. Infrastructure is essential to economic and social prosperity and the transition to an environmentally sustainable economy; therefore, her research has substantial merit.
At the time of filing, she had published 5 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored) and 4 peer-reviewed conference papers (2 of them first-authored) in no fewer than 3 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals. Along with her recognition by prestigious researchers and organizations worldwide, her work has inspired her peers. Her papers have been cited 16 times by researchers in electrical engineering and adjoining fields.
Notably, this individual had also worked on projects funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and the Canada Foundation for Innovation. Thus, we were able to establish that, since this client had accomplished well-received financial support from authoritative sponsors in the field, she was well-positioned to advance her nationally important research.
To bolster her well-put NIW petition packet, we also added 4 recommendation letters obtained from her fellow experts in the field, who provided additional insight into the merit of her proposed endeavor. We are citing one such excerpt below:
“I am pleased to write this letter of endorsement on behalf of [client], a foremost researcher in electrical engineering. As a current Ph.D. candidate in electrical and computer engineering, she has extensive academic experience in the field. Alongside her doctorate studies, she works as a researcher, pursuing non-destructive testing (NDT) and data analysis in electrical and computer engineering. Her extensive and ongoing academic and professional experiences, and her numerous contributions to the field, indicate her proficiency as a top scientific contributor. Furthermore, her influential discoveries mark her as one of the most critical researchers in the field today.”
Since she has accumulated more than 10 years of experience working in various engineering professions around the world, thus, we are delighted to have earned another approval for a deserving client in just 5 months and 6 days without any intervening Request for Evidence (RFE). This approval speaks to the efficacy of our services for which many NIW candidates qualify.
