Case Summary:

“[Client’s] current accomplishments related to this project have significant implications for more accurate design of structures. With a more precise method for predicting the fundamental period, he has fundamentally altered structural design procedures so that buildings are safer for their occupants […] it is also relevant to economic interests as well since his method engenders more cost-effective building design.”
This statement is taken from one of several recommendation letters volunteered by leading structural engineers to support our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) case. Our client, a structural engineer from Iran, hired North America Immigration Law Group to help him refine and strengthen his NIW petition. Our legal team worked diligently to prove the value of our client’s work to the United States, particularly to public safety and the country’s economy. We established that our client’s structural designs are able to resist tsunami and hurricane loads, which in turn, leads to less infrastructure damage and construction.
Our client’s Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, citation count (42), and publication record (7) made him a suitable candidate to file his case under the EB-2 NIW visa category. The USCIS agreed with our well-presented petition packet and granted their approval a little over three months later. This EB-2 NIW approval is yet another example of our law firm’s dedication to helping all our clients get one step closer to their green cards.
