Case Summary:
Despite the fact that sometimes US Immigration and Customs Service officers can be confused about the requirements for National Interest Waiver (NIW) and issue a Request for Further Evidence (RFE), we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for an Assistant Professor in the field of Accounting and Business Management (Approval Notice) on August 26th, 2013. This was the situation with a business management professor living and working in China who applied for a National Interest Wavier to work in the United States. Because the applicant was self-petitioned and assurance of employment was not required, we respectfully explained the requirements for an NIW, including statutory language and language from the Adjudicator’s Field Manual, to satisfy the RFE. The evidence we argued showed that while our client’s on-going research to date was focused on accounting practices in China, the results of these studies were presently and directly relevant to the United States.
The client in this case was a professor of accounting and business management. Her work had primarily focused on International Accounting, Corporate Governance, and Accounting History. She had a strong record of teaching Financial Management, International Accounting Standards, Fundamental Financial Accounting, and Intermediate Financial Accounting. She had made original contributions to the field international trade, securities, and the nation’s economy through her in-depth study and presentation of the history of the auditing system within the Chinese market as applied to its international partners. In addition, our client had been a teacher in China and Switzerland for nearly a decade and was a member of prestigious Chinese business societies. Furthermore, she was a well-cited author with over a dozen papers that had appeared in field publications both in Europe and China. Our client provided translations of the relevant papers and evidence of a rich secondary citation record. In addition, she presented thorough documentation of her highest degree and transcripts of her performance. To secure approval of her I-140, we argued that as the economic relationship between our two countries continues to grow, having a researcher with extensive and unique knowledge of Chinese accounting, economics, finance and business is essential to the United States’ national and international interests. Through extensive documentation, we successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Ultimately, perseverance and the proper evidence satisfied the RFE unambiguously in our clients favor.
