Case Summary:
A little more than eight months ago, North America Immigration Law Group filed an I-140 under the visa category EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) on behalf of an Iranian assistant professor working in the field of civil engineering. Recently, we received the good news that his petition has been approved. We proved that not only is his work beneficial to the nation, but also that ceasing his research efforts in the United States would be detrimental to structural systems in the country, as well as to civil engineers and scientists working in related fields.
In addition to highlighting our client’s 35 citations and eight published papers, we reinforced his case by including testimonials provided by independent recommenders, one of whom wrote, “I believe that [Client] will continue to conduct original research and influential work that brings us one step closer to a fully automated and optimal design process of structural members and components. Such developments not only provide us with more efficient structural members and components, but also greatly reduce unnecessary costs, which in turn benefits the overall manufacturing industry.”
Besides chronicling our client’s M.S. and Ph.D. in Structural Engineering, we included other relevant evidence of our client’s unique skillsets and knowledge. By the time we were ready to file this assistant professor’s case, we had amassed an extensive list of his accomplishments. Even so, the USCIS issued a Request for Evidence (RFE). This prompted rapid action from our team. We efficiently and effectively addressed the RFE, and the USCIS responded by approving our client’s EB-2 NIW I-140. After approval of his I-485 application, he will receive his green card. We congratulate our client and wish him the best in his future work.
