Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you so much. You guys made my day! I will recommend your law group to my friends and everywhere else.”
On March 3rd, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Petitioner in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Electrical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: N/A
Country of Origin: Pakistan
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: North Carolina
Approval Notice Date: March 3rd, 2016
Processing Time: 42 days
Case Summary:
A professional electrical engineer engaged North America Immigration Law Group’s services to obtain a green card. We filed our client’s I-140 petition under the EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) category and recently filed an I-485 application on his behalf. I-140 and I-485 are the two consecutive steps involved in the complex green card process. We are pleased that Texas Service Center approved our client’s I-140 petition in just 42 days and that the green card finish line is finally in sight.
Our Strategy:
In order to make our EB-2 NIW case a strong one, we meticulously detailed our client’s many professional and academic accomplishments. We used Google Scholar to account for the 64 citations that his research had amassed at the time of filing. Details on his 13 journal articles and 7 conference articles were also incorporated into the petition packet. As supporting evidence, we also discussed our client’s peer review experience (10 manuscript reviews conducted for several high impact journals). A copy of our client’s M.Sc. in Electronics and corresponding transcripts were also part of our NIW petition packet.
Besides a summary of our client’s portfolio, we also highlighted his many research ventures on refining optoelectronics to exhibit better performance and efficiency. Our legal team argued that his work advances the speed of sensing technologies and the efficiency of solar cells, and that his investigations impact the United States technology, energy and medical industries.
External Support:
Our efforts were further fortified by third-party opinions, offered in the form of recommendation letters. Our client coaxed several prominent researchers in his field of electrical engineering to support his NIW case, and to our delight, they willingly obliged. One of these letters stated that “I am certain that his many accomplishments in solar technology and electrical engineering are sure indicators of a continued career full of many more valuable contributions to scientific knowledge and innovative technology.” Another recommender wrote, “His considerable talents and distinguished record as a researcher set him apart from his peers and make him a rare talent in the field.”
In Conclusion:
We would like to congratulate our client on his I-140 approval, and we join him as he awaits the final decision from the USCIS regarding his I-485 application. North America Immigration Law Group would also like to thank our client for selecting us to represent his case, and we wish him well as he continues to progress the field of electrical engineering.
