Case Summary:

A staff scientist working in the field of biomedical engineering hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help him put together and submit a convincing EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition.

Compiling supporting evidence:

With an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering obtained from a university in his birth country of Iran, our client had the necessary knowledge needed to develop impactful biomedical technologies for various medical applications. His research has resulted in 13 peer-reviewed articles in conference proceedings and 7 peer-reviewed journal articles that had collected 53 citations at the time of filing. Furthermore, his findings benefit American public health and advance the country’s medical technology industry.

To support our claim that our client is an irreplaceable leader in the field, we prompted him to reach out to several of his peers for recommendation letters. We needed these experts to confirm that our client’s research is frequently implemented and cited by leading medical research institutions in the United States. According to one of these experts: “As one of the most prominent names in his field, [Client] has considerably advanced the technology of surgical robotics, and has provided scientific research that is beneficial to all related fields. Taking into account the translational value of his work, it is clear that [Client’s] work is of major value and that he is an irreplaceable presence in the research and development spheres.”

Obtaining EB-2 NIW petition approval:

Just 1 month and 9 days after we filed our client’s EB-2 NIW petition, Texas Service Center granted their approval. We join our client as he celebrates the good news, and we wish him well as he continues to progress the field of biomedical engineering.
