Summary of the case:

Our client, an outstanding CAE Integration Manager in the field of Mechanical Engineering, has an advanced professional degree in his Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering, which he obtained from a well-known Dutch university.

Our client contacted us for his NIW petition. Our knowledgeable attorneys carefully evaluated his general information and tailored a petition package to his specific needs. We have successfully claimed that he used his remarkable research expertise to produce many significant advances in the field of mechanical engineering. This area of ​​research was important because of the crucial role such advances would play in developing ultra-efficient topologies and algorithms for inverter technologies to facilitate the construction of long-range battery-powered hybrid and electric vehicles. . His area of ​​research had substantial intrinsic merit due to its ability to reduce oil imports, minimize health costs from air pollution, and create new manufacturing and job creation opportunities in the sectors of production, transport and distribution of electrical energy.

Through the continued implementation and dissemination of its research, the benefits would impact all regions of the country. We have also provided all documentation demonstrating his exceptional research abilities, as well as strong letters of recommendation from leading professionals in his field attesting to his status as one of the top researchers in his field.

In July 2023, we submitted its NIW (Renunciation of national interest) petition to USCIS, which was approved in just 3 days. Our client’s pending petition file was processed quickly and successfully using the USCIS Premium Processing Service (a paid option offered by USCIS that allows petitioners to benefit from an expedited decision within 15 days instead of 9 to 12 months).

Impressed by our dedicated teamwork on his NIW petition, our client retained us to file another petition under I-140 EB1A (Extraterrestrial with extraordinary abilities) visa category one month later NIW approval. We decided to take charge of EB1A case since we knew his remarkable scientific training.

We highlighted his meticulous record of 29 peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers and 4 technical articles published in some of the most demanding and high-impact journals in the field of mechanical engineering, which have accumulated a total of 284 citations, establishing the impact he had on his peers and colleagues. Additionally, he has conducted 5 evaluations to date, demonstrating his active and real engagement as a judge of the work of other experts in the field.

Unfortunately, his EB1A The petition file received an RFE (Request for Evidence), examining the validity of the application’s assertions to satisfy the extraordinary capacity criteria. But in no time, we fought back with our RFE response program. Our goal was to meet the most difficult requirement to obtain EB1A approval, which must prove the national and international reputation of the foreigner with recognized achievements. We were thus quickly able to compile an exceptional list of his achievements, including his publications and citations, his peer review experience, and financial support for his work from the Dutch Technology Foundation STW, UK-Indian Education and Research Initiative , Innovate UK, demonstrating its exceptional capability as well as its national and international importance to the United States.

We are pleased to have been able to provide USCIS with all relevant information about our client’s research, which is therefore extremely beneficial to the United States’ continued fight for global emissions reduction goals. As a result, he received his EB1A approval in November 2023 despite receipt of an RFE. Two wonderful endorsements (NIW And EB1A) consecutive stories this year have led us to wish our client the best success in their future endeavors.
