Success Story: Electrical Engineering Research on Clean Energy Analysis and Simulation Secures NIW Approval After a Long Timeline
Client’s Testimonial:
"Thank you very much for representing my case and all the effort from everyone of you!”
On June 30th, 2026, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Engineer in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Electrical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Engineer
Country of Origin: China
Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: Canada
Approval Notice Date: June 30th, 2026
Processing Time: 20 months, 21 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
Reliable clean energy systems depend on more than renewable generation. They also require accurate analysis and simulation tools that can test how power systems behave under fast, complex, and sometimes unstable conditions. This need formed the center of this NIW case, where an engineer in the field of electrical engineering received approval on June 30th, 2026, after 20 months and 21 days, with Premium Processing upgraded on April 28, 2026.
North America Immigration Law Group (Chen Immigration Law Associates) structured the petition around the client’s work in power system analysis and simulation. His proposed endeavor focused on refining state-of-the-art analytical methods to improve the capabilities and integration of renewable energy systems. The petition emphasized its precise technical importance: superior system analysis and modeling allow engineers to accurately predict grid behavior, validate novel energy architectures, and ensure overall infrastructure stability and reliability as power networks become increasingly dependent on sustainable resources.
To demonstrate that the client was well positioned to continue this work, the petition highlighted his Ph.D. background in electrical and computer engineering and his professional experience in power system simulation. The client had documented his research through 1 first-authored peer-reviewed journal article, 7 peer-reviewed (including accepted) conference articles or book chapters.
The record also showed that his research had already influenced other engineers and scholars. His published work had received 58 citations. Other researchers relied on his analytical models, analysis and simulation in studies involving advanced power conversion stability, complex network dynamics, and novel energy conversion architectures, demonstrating that his integrated methods serve as foundational tools for downstream research in power system analysis and grid reliability.
This approval reflects the importance of specialized engineering research that supports the infrastructure behind clean energy adoption. We were pleased to help secure this NIW approval for a researcher whose work strengthens renewable energy modeling, grid stability and reliability analysis, and the technical foundation needed for more reliable clean energy systems in the United States.
