General Field: Fluid Mechanics

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Teaching Assistant and Researcher

Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Virginia

Approval Notice Date: April 11^th, 2016

Case Summary:

A teaching assistant and researcher from Iran recently received an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition approval from Texas Service Center. We are especially pleased with the speed at which the USCIS adjudicated our client’s EB-2 NIW petition: 1 month and 13 days. Seeing that the USCIS usually spends between 4-9 months reviewing I-140 petitions, we have no doubt that our thorough presentation of our client’s strong credentials paved the way for case approval.

What did the petition contain?

Our client’s EB-2 NIW petition dossier contained a myriad of information on his advanced degree and professional performance. We shed light on his achievements and made sure that the USCIS was well aware of his outstanding abilities to conduct impactful research in the field of fluid mechanics. Not just that, we demonstrated that not many other similarly qualified researchers can take our client’s place as a leader in the field. We backed up our argument by incorporating detailed information on his 8 publications that had gathered 163 citations at the time of filing.

We also prompted our client to convince other experts in the field to support the approval of his EB-2 NIW petition. The support that our client garnered from four of his peers was represented by recommendation letters that they signed. We included these letters into our client’s dossier and highlighted several quotes in our well-written petition letter. An example includes: “The field of numerical modeling in the United States would undoubtedly suffer without the presence of [Client]. Without any hesitation, it is highly recommended that [Client’s] research be permitted to proceed.”

What comes next?

We would like to congratulate our client for overcoming this significant hurdle in the complex green card process. He recently informed us that he will be filing an I-485 application with the help of our D.I.Y. Packet (only available to clients who retained our I-140 services). We wish him the best with this and thank him for choosing to work with North America Immigration Law Group (Wegreened.com).
