Client’s Testimonial:
“Thanks so much. I really appreciate all your help and support.”
On February 23rd, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a BIM and Project Controls Specialist in the Field of Civil Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Civil Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: BIM and Project Controls Specialist
Country of Origin: Iran
Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Illinois
Processing Time: 7 months, 29 days
Case Summary:
“Through [Client’s] trailblazing and highly interdisciplinary research, which has involved the innovative combination of techniques from Civil Engineering and Computer Science to improve our nation’s physical infrastructure, he has positioned himself at the forefront of our rapidly progressing field.”
This strong show of support was offered by a distinguished professor working in the field of civil engineering, who willingly provided a letter of support for our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. Several other experts in the field also offered recommendation letters, which bolstered our carefully prepared petition packet. Our NIW packet also documented our client’s numerous professional accomplishments: his 13 publications and the 54 citations they had gathered when we filed the case.
Our client, who has a Ph.D in Civil Engineering, is conducting systematic automated assessments of roadway assets. We established that his work is of the utmost importance to the United States, particularly to the country’s overall economy, transportation system, roadway asset management, and built environment industry. We also demonstrated that unlike many of his peers, our client has attained an outstanding level of success in his field.
The USCIS took close to eight months reviewing this case. At one point, our firm raised a service request to address the fact that the processing time was beyond the norm. The USCIS replied by saying that our client’s NIW petition was in line to be reviewed and over a month later, they approved the petition. As our client chose to file his I-485 (final step in the green card process) while his petition was pending, he received his second approval notice not long after the first. North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) would like to congratulate our client on his green card approval, and we wish him well with his continued research efforts in the United States.
