Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you for your contribution to my NIW case.”

On September 9^th, 2026, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Graduate Research Assistant in the Field of Power System Engineering (Approval Notice).

General Field: Power System Engineering

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Graduate Research Assistant

Country of Origin: China

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New Hampshire

Approval Notice Date: September 9^th, 2026

Processing Time: 4 months, 19 days (Premium Processing Upgrade Requested)

Case Summary:

Holding a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering, the client currently works as an engineer in the power sector. His proposed endeavor focuses on developing and applying advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and optimization techniques to improve energy efficiency, grid stability, and operational reliability in modern power grids, directly supporting the United States' transition toward a sustainable, resilient, and intelligent energy system.

Academic Contributions and Field Significance

To establish that the client was exceptionally well-positioned to advance his endeavor under Matter of Dhanasar, North America Immigration Law Group (Chen Immigration Law Associates) structured a narrative focused on the demonstrated impact of his scholarly record. His scientific output includes 9 peer-reviewed journal articles (6 first-authored), 14 peer-reviewed conference papers (5 first-authored), 1 conference abstract, and 1 pre-print, which together have accrued 251 citations from independent researchers across the global scientific community.

Rather than presenting raw citation totals as self-evidently sufficient, our legal team provided a detailed bibliometric contextualization for the USCIS adjudicator. We established that 1 of his articles ranked in the top 1% and 3 additional papers ranked in the top 10% of most-cited engineering publications for their respective publication years. The petition demonstrated that independent research teams worldwide actively rely on his AI optimization algorithms, home energy management frameworks, and dynamic frequency-control models to inform building decarbonization strategies, advance frequency-constrained scheduling, and improve intelligent building energy management.

NIW Approval and Outlook

The petition successfully established that the client's endeavor holds substantial merit and national importance by lowering energy costs, improving power grid reliability, and maintaining American leadership in critical clean-energy technologies. By connecting his scholarly publication output, top-tier citation percentiles, and independent scientific reliance into a cohesive narrative, our firm successfully secured his I-140 NIW approval. We congratulate the client and look forward to his continued contributions to power system engineering, smart grid intelligence, and sustainable energy infrastructure in the United States.
