Success Stories: No RFE, NIW Approval was Received for an IC Failure Analysis Engineer in the Electrical Engineering Field from China in Just 5 Days
Client’s Testimonial:
“Great news! I'm really grateful for your help. Thank you so much!”
On February 7th, 2024, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an IC Failure Analysis Engineer in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Electrical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: IC Failure Analysis Engineer
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas
Approval Notice Date: February 7th, 2024
Processing Time: 5 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
For an NIW petition to be successful, we need to show that our client possesses an "advanced degree" or "exceptional ability" in their chosen field. The petitioner must also convincingly demonstrate that their proposed endeavor holds substantial merit and national importance, that they are well-positioned to advance this endeavor, and that it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the standard requirements of a job offer and labor certification. While each NIW case is judged on its individual merits, the burden of proof always lies with the beneficiary to establish that exemption from labor certification would be in the national interest of the U.S.
When our client, an IC failure analysis engineer in the field of electrical engineering from China, approached North America Immigration Law Group for assistance in filing his NIW petition, our team made sure to gather the following data for his NIW petition packet:
- We unveiled that as an expert in the field, our client’s proposed endeavor is to continue designing and implementing state-of-the-art methods to diagnose the failure of integrated circuit (IC) products in order to enhance the United States semiconductor market.
- Therefore, we were certain that our client’s research has great importance because it improves the failure analysis of ICs. It should also be noted that his research into IC failure analysis and novel semiconductor product development will continue to be circulated to others in the field through the publication of papers in peer-reviewed journals.
- Thus, we noted that his research has resulted in 11 peer-reviewed journal articles (6 of them first-authored). He has published these papers in no fewer than 7 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals, altogether acquiring a total of 712 citations from many other scholarly experts in the field.
- In addition, we highlighted that research has been supported with funding from the National Science Foundation. This funding is reserved solely for research directed at advancing the national interest, including advancing scientific and technological development in the United States in order to promote national prosperity.
