Case Summary:

A visiting researcher hired North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to file an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf. Our client, who obtained her Ph.D. in Signal and Information Processing from a university in her home country of China, is working in the field of electrical engineering. Her research focuses on signal and information processing,and she has researched and designed an array of embedded electronics such as digital television terminals and  high-definition media playing systems.
We documented our client’s citation record (30 citations) gathered from her 30 peer-reviewed journal and conference publications, and highlighted her influence in her field. To strengthen our client’s case, our legal team advised her to reach out to other expert electrical engineers to gather support. Six of these experts did so by contributing recommendation letters, all of which were included in our diligently prepared EB-2 NIW presentation to the USCIS. One letter said, in part, “Her abilities, along with her past advancements, point to the future advancements that [Client] will make and further justify the retention of her services in the United States.”
Because we meticulously presented the many advantages that our client’s work has for the United States, her I-140 was approved by the USCIS less than four months after we filed her NIW case. She is now waiting for her priority date to become current before filing an I-485 (the final step towards permanent residency).
