Case Summary:

A senior software engineer engaged the services of North America Immigration Law Group to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf. Our client is working in the field of computer and information science and is focused specifically on the topographical mapping of extraterrestrial land and communication organization software.
By establishing that our client’s work benefits global aerospace research and the American communication industry, our law firm played a significant role in convincing the USCIS that our client qualifies for the national interest waiver. Among other things, our EB-2 petition packet included information on the 65 citations to our client’s 11 published works, a copy of his master’s degree and transcripts, and details on his past and current research projects. We also incorporated letters of support contributed by experts in the field, one of whom wrote, “If his work in this area were to be halted, the accessibility of these advanced designs would be diminished as well. Thus, [Client’s] active role as a software engineer is clearly advantageous to the nation’s ongoing need for increasingly capable software.”   
We are pleased that our diligent work lent a hand in this EB-2 NIW petition approval. Our client is currently waiting for his priority date to become current before filing an I-485 application (the final step in the green card process). We wish him all the best.
