Case Summary:

Our firm was contacted by a Ph.D. student in the field of mechanical engineering to assist him in filing a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition on his behalf. We began by looking into his background and found that he had an M.Sc. in chemical and biological engineering, fulfilling the requirement of having an advanced degree. We also found that our client was working to investigate chemically reacting flows to design and optimize sustainable and efficient engines and rockets. Given the potential applications this research could have, his research is naturally of importance to the American government. We included the following additional details into his his personalized petition package:

Our client has published 2 peer-reviewed journal articles and 3 conference papers. These papers have additionally been published in top journals, reflecting the value of this research. Our client has published papers in no fewer than 3 highly-ranked peer-reviewed journals.
The importance of his research is apparent, as his research could help the U.S. reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, and designing engines that more efficiently burn fuel and that produce fewer emissions, allows a critical step in the transition away from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy.
Due to its clear national importance, his research has been supported with funding from the Department of Energy (DoE), the Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES), and the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). The importance of his research is supported by how much faith the government has in his research.
Lastly, our client has received 4 letters of recommendation from different experts, with one saying:

“The contributions [Client] is making in the advancement of chemical kinetics are, without a doubt, of utmost importance and consequence. His expertise and experience in mechanical engineering have been demonstrated through his publications, remarkable research findings, and overall achievements throughout his career. Specifically, [Client]’s expertise in the use of computational fluid dynamics and numerical modeling makes me certain of his continuing contribution to furthering our understanding of fuel combustion behavior. It is therefore of critical importance that [Client] be allowed to continue his important work in the United States.”

Given the information listed above, we were able to construct a compelling case for his petition, and thanks to the USCIS’s premium processing service, we secured approval in 2 days. We wish our client continued success in his future endeavors and are grateful for his faith in our firm.
