Success Story: NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for Naval Architect and Marine Engineer
Recently, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates received an Approval for an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) after receiving a RFE (Request for Evidence). (Approval Notice)
General Field: Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoc Researcher
National Origin: China
Service Center: Texas
Case Summary:
We at Chen Immigration Law Associates spend a significant amount of time filing cases previously handled by other law firms. In fact, over 40% of our business stems from petitions filed unsuccessfully by other law firms or individuals themselves. With this in mind, it is important to denote that a RFE (Request for Evidence) does not mean that a petition will be denied. However, these cases require special attention as if they are not correctly handled the petition will most likely result in a denial.
In this specific case, the petitioner had originally filed with another law firm who did not establish significant evidence of this petitioners expertise and proposed benefit to the National Scope. In order to provide this evidence, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates highlighted the accomplishments and contributions this client had made towards the field of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering through the drafting of nine recommendation letters that were then reviewed, edited, and signed by the recommenders. These nine letters, including four letters from independent advisory opinions, gave reference to each important contribution this client had made to their field of endeavor, and helped establish these contributions in reference to the national interest.
Although these recommendation letters are extremely important, as they provided a foundation for this appeal, it was additionally important that we at Chen Immigration Law Associates referenced similar cases that were ruled in favor of petitioners. Through the citation of the AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) decisions, we were able to reinforce the merit associated with this client’s research, and its overall benefit to the national interest. Not are these rulings important for citation as they can offer a faster approval, but they can additionally help strengthen the credentials of the client as their accomplishments may be much stronger than petitions that have been previously approved.
Finally, piece by piece we at Chen Immigration Law Associates broke down each of the qualifications in question and provided associated evidence based on field contributions, achievements, and the greater scope of this client’s research towards the national interest.
Using this proven strategy, while correctly articulating the importance surrounding this client’s valued work towards the national interest, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates were able to secure approval for this petition.
With this in consideration, it is important to emphasize that the processes and expertise practiced by Chen Immigration Law Associates. Not only do we develop the best possible strategies for each case, but we execute these strategies with the utmost effectiveness!
