Client’s Testimonial:
“Thanks a lot.”
On January 12th, 2016, we received another EB2- NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Assistant Professor in the Field of Reservoir Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Reservoir Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Assistant Professor
Country of Origin: Iran
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas
Processing Time: 18 months, 1 day
Case Summary:
Our client, an assistant professor from Iran, sought North America Immigration Law Group’s help to help him get a green card. A year and a half after we filed his EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, we received an approval notice. The approval took considerably longer than expected because we had to send a service request to the USCIS, and, after that, respond to their Request for Evidence (RFE). We handled these issues easily and in the end, convinced the adjudicating officer to approve the petition.
With a Ph.D. in petroleum engineering and over 40 citations to his work, our client is an influential member of his field of reservoir engineering. We established this by submitting information pertinent to his research on enhanced oil recovery and carbon dioxide storage. North America Immigration Law Group also included a summary of our client’s projects on unconventional reservoir engineering, field-scale assessment of shale reservoirs, and enhanced oil recovery. Moreover, we helped him reach out to experts in his field and included those experts’ recommendation letters with his petition packet. According to one letter, “Shale gas as a whole is gaining more and more ground as a source of natural gas in the United States, greatly expanding the country’s resource base. As this is such a significant part of the US’s production of natural gas, having predictive models such as [Client’s] are imperative to enable development of these critical deposits.”
We are glad that our client has passed this first, significant hurdle in the green card process, and we wish him all the best.
