Client’s Testimonial:

“This is fantastic news. I am deeply grateful to the entire team for their efforts and support. Thank you so much for the great job that you have done.”

On January 27^th, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Professor in the Field of Chemical Engineering (Approval Notice).

General Field: Chemical Engineering

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Professor

Country of Origin: Iraq

Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: Iraq

Approval Notice Date: January 27^th, 2025

Processing Time: 2 months and 5 days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

Approved in just 2 months and 5 days under premium processing, this EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition highlights the achievements of a professor from Iraq with a Ph.D. in chemical engineering. His research integrates artificial intelligence, computational modeling, and engineering principles to enhance the precision, safety, and efficiency of industrial systems. North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) successfully demonstrated that his pioneering computational work—particularly in optimizing multiphase flow systems and industrial process simulations—holds substantial merit and national importance for the United States.

The Power of Precision: Building a Case on Data and Impact

Behind this successful case lies a body of work that reflects both scientific excellence and practical impact. The client has authored 40 peer-reviewed journal articles (6 first-authored), 25 conference articles (9 first-authored), and 2 abstracts, accumulating over 1,000 citations from global researchers. His consistent peer review service for leading journals—having completed at least 11 reviews to date—as well as his mentorship in doctoral research, further underscored his recognized expertise and influence in the academic community.

Beyond his publication record, his innovations have delivered measurable outcomes. He developed a dual-sensor multiphase metering system that integrates capacitance-based and gamma-ray technologies to achieve unprecedented precision in fluid flow measurement. This work has contributed significantly to improving the efficiency and safety of systems involved in hydrogen production, carbon capture, and energy transport—sectors critical to national infrastructure and sustainability.

The Voice of Recognition

The client received two recommendation letters. One independent expert captured the scope of his influence, stating:

“Therefore, he is clearly an indispensable force in chemical engineering. The United States relies on his extended work to continue driving progress in multiphase flow systems.”

A Swift and Well-Deserved Victory

With a precisely structured argument and comprehensive documentation of his technical and societal contributions, NAILG secured approval of this EB-2 NIW petition without any RFE issues. The outcome recognized both his exceptional expertise and the national relevance of his research.

As he continues advancing chemical engineering, his research promises to shape the future of computational modeling, industrial safety, and energy sustainability.

This success reflects NAILG’s continued dedication to supporting exceptional scientists and engineers whose work strengthens America’s leadership in innovation and technological progress.
