General Field: Economics

State Residing at the Time of Filing: Illinois
Approval Notice Date: June 4, 2013

Case Summary:

The average processing time for I-140 cases is 4-6 months. But on many occasions, we have cases approved far faster than the average processing time.

This client is an economist from Iran. His expertise encompasses the area of market frictions, with an emphasis on unemployment and liquidity. In order to ensure the success of this case, we submitted extensive documentation of our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of economics, including his authorship of 1 peer-reviewed scientific article in a leading journal, 2 working papers, and 8 conference presentations (with additional conference invitations). His publications have been independently cited at least 28 times by leading researchers around the world from prestigious institutions. Additionally, our firm drafted and submitted several recommendation letters from experts in our client’s shared field. His expertise can also be seen in a quote by an independent recommender, “[The Petitioner] has made significant contributions to the field of economics. His work covers a range of topics, yet he consistently produces research of the highest caliber.”  With the strong petition letter and recommendation letters we prepared, his NIW case was approved in just 8 weeks without RFE.
