Client’s Testimonial:

“I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding expertise and support provided by Chen Immigration, particularly Attorney Farihah, throughout my EB-2 NIW petition process. Their meticulous approach and deep understanding of the NIW criteria ensured that my case was presented in the strongest possible manner. Thanks to their strategic guidance, my petition was approved without a Request for Evidence (RFE), an achievement that speaks volumes about their professionalism and dedication.

From the beginning, Attorney Farihah carefully crafted my petition to highlight my contributions to mechanical engineering, including my research in finite element analysis and machine learning applications in industrial automation and safety. Her attention to detail in showcasing my publications, citations, and peer-reviewed work was instrumental in demonstrating the national significance of my research.

Her responsiveness and clear communication throughout the process provided me with confidence and clarity, making a complex immigration journey far less stressful. I highly recommend Chen Immigration and Attorney Farihah to anyone pursuing an NIW approval—they truly are the best in their field!”
