Case Summary:
An EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition was approved for a civil engineer whose pioneering work combines artificial intelligence and experimental analysis to develop sustainable and cost-efficient construction solutions. The petition, filed on April 21, 2025, received a Request for Evidence (RFE) on June 13, 2025, and was successfully approved on October 27, 2025, following North America Immigration Law Group’s (NAILG) comprehensive response demonstrating the substantial merit, national importance, and credibility of the petitioner’s research.
The petitioner’s research combines experimental analysis with machine learning techniques to advance the development of sustainable construction materials and reduce the need for costly, labor-intensive testing processes. By applying artificial intelligence to improve material performance and predict structural behavior, the petitioner’s work supports key national objectives in environmental sustainability, safety, and infrastructure modernization. These contributions are vital to reducing emissions, optimizing energy use, and strengthening the resilience of the country’s built environment.
Our client’s studies also extend to risk- and reliability-based infrastructure life cycle assessments, offering methods to evaluate long-term performance and maintenance efficiency. His research supports the construction industry’s shift toward sustainable, data-driven practices, efforts that directly align with national goals for innovation in engineering and environmental responsibility.
In recognition of his expertise, the petitioner has demonstrated his standing in the global research community through:
-
Peer Review Service: Completion of at least 14 peer reviews for leading international journals.
-
Publication Record: Authorship of 6 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 first-authored).
-
Citation Impact: A total of 446 citations by independent researchers, reflecting both originality and lasting influence within the civil and environmental engineering disciplines.
Through NAILG’s detailed and evidence-based RFE response, the firm effectively demonstrated that the petitioner’s research addresses issues of national importance and that he is exceptionally well-positioned to continue his impactful work in the United States. The approval of his NIW petition reaffirms his critical role in advancing sustainable engineering and artificial intelligence applications, as well as NAILG’s continued success in securing favorable outcomes for researchers whose work directly contributes to the nation’s technological and environmental advancement.
