Case Summary:

Through the careful preparation of NAILG, a construction management researcher has secured EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for his work on advancing supply chain management strategies in the construction industry. Holding an M.S. in civil engineering – construction management, he has already built a strong academic and professional record that reflects his capacity to address critical challenges in the field.

His research centers on the application of advanced analytical and modeling techniques to improve supply chain management practices across construction projects. By targeting areas such as supplier selection, material resource management, and waste disposal, his work optimizes project efficiency and supports long-term sustainability. These improvements not only reduce emissions and costs but also create more appealing workplaces and organizational structures, helping to strengthen workforce recruitment and retention in a sector where labor shortages are a significant concern.

Beyond the technical benefits, his work contributes to broader national priorities. Efficient and sustainable supply chains ensure that federal investments in construction and infrastructure are used productively, enhancing the resilience of U.S. projects and supporting economic growth.

The client’s qualifications were well documented in the petition. He has authored six peer-reviewed journal articles, including three as first author, and five peer-reviewed conference papers, three of which he also led. His work has been cited 48 times, and he has completed at least 27 peer reviews, underscoring his recognition as a trusted expert in the field. As one recommender observed, “Overall, [Client]’s research underscored the importance of digital technologies and systematic risk assessment in confronting challenges of sustainable building design and energy efficiency.”

This approval reflects both the importance of his contributions to construction management and the strength of the petition prepared by NAILG. With this success, he is now well-positioned to continue advancing supply chain strategies that will improve sustainability, optimize resource use, and strengthen the future of the U.S. construction industry.
