Case Summary:

“[Client] has repeatedly conducted significant research that is protecting important American structures and saving American lives. He is one of the leading civil engineers in the U.S. today, and his continued presence is absolutely essential.”
This vote of confidence was offered by an expert civil engineer. It is excerpted from a recommendation letter that he contributed in support of our client’s EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) included this letter and several others in the carefully prepared petition packet that we submitted to the USCIS on our client’s behalf.
Our client, who has an M.Sc. in Engineering and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, is developing superior methods for monitoring the structural health of civil structures. We proved that his work is contributing to the United States’ public safety as the collapse of structures is capable of causing significant harm to those inside or nearby the structure, and that halting his work will be detrimental to the nation. Besides accounting for our client’s various research projects in the field of civil engineering, we also highlighted the importance of his insights to other researchers by documenting the 34 citations to his 7 publications.
Our client recently retained us to file I-485 (final step in the green card process) applications for himself and his wife. We wish them the very best with their future endeavors here in the United States.
