Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you for helping me through I-140. I really appreciate all your help and support.”
On March 4th, 2016, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Design Review Engineer in the Field of Mechanical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Mechanical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Design Review Engineer
Country of Origin: Iran
Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC)
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas
Approval Notice Date: March 4th, 2016
Processing Time: 11 months, 3 days
Case Summary:
A talented design review engineer from Iran engaged the professional services of North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) to help her and her husband become American permanent residents. Overall, the USCIS spent a little over 11 months adjudicating our EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. We raised a service request on our client’s behalf when the processing timeframe went beyond the norm. Despite needing more time to perform additional reviews, the USCIS ultimately approved our client’s EB-2 NIW petition.
North America Immigration Law Group’s Role:
Our main job was to compile a wealth of information on our client’s various accomplishments and put together a strong NIW presentation to convince the USCIS that our client deserved to get one step closer to a green card. Amongst the array of key materials that we included, here are several of them:
- Academic Accomplishments: Our client’s M.S. in Mechanical Engineering served as proof that she is armed with the necessary skills and knowledge to carry out outstanding research. We included a copy of her degree and transcripts in our petition packet.
- Respected Results: We detailed our client’s research on the development of computational design optimization techniques that can be applied across engineering specialties, and accounted for her innovative design optimization methods to both a sounding rocket and a compass robot. We demonstrated that our client’s work is impacting the United States’ energy independence, infrastructure, and economy.
- Compelling Citation Count: When we filed this NIW case, our client’s work had gathered 25 citations.
- Prominent Publications: Her published work included 2 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 book, and numerous industry technical reports.
- Relevant References: To fortify our NIW petition, we encouraged our client to reach out to several other influential experts in her field of mechanical engineering for recommendation letters. The letters that she managed to obtain firmly advocated the importance of her work to the country. One of our client’s recommenders wrote, “I hope you will understand the severe and harmful consequences of not retaining [Client’s] continued service to the U.S., for her absence would surely harm the national interests of this great country.”
Final Step towards a Green Card:
We are currently preparing I-485 applications for our client and her spouse, and we look forward to helping them attain green cards. We thank them for choosing our law firm to help them achieve this significant goal.
