Success Story: No Delays, No RFE: A Chinese Senior Systems Design & Architecture Engineer Secure NIW Success Smoothly
Client’s Testimonial:
“The team has been quite responsible and quick in responding to my case preparation and very professional. Special thanks to Rober O., who helped me all the way on my NIW and EB1B, and EB1A case preparation, and many who only show as Chen’s team but have no actual name on them. I wish I could know the name, but please pass my big thanks and appreciation to those who helped me out during the journey.
In addition to the above, I wrote across all my applications. The Wegreened team also addressed my concerns over whether premium processing on an EB1A case with great patience and illustration. I really appreciate your valuable opinion and data support. I always recommend you to my fellow colleagues and friends whenever they need assistance with emigration support. Specifically, I also referred my cousin to the team, and she is currently working on her EB2-NIW.”

Case Summary:
Our client, an electrical engineer specializing in large-scale power system modeling, has dedicated his career to improving the safety, reliability, and energy efficiency of these systems. His pioneering work in developing modeling approaches for electrical hardware and commercial electronic devices plays an essential role in strengthening the nation’s energy infrastructure and supporting U.S. technological leadership in advanced manufacturing and power management.
With the guidance of the North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG), his EB2-NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition was approved, recognizing the exceptional value of his work and its importance to national priorities in energy innovation and grid stability.
Engineering Smarter, More Efficient Power Systems
Holding a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering, the client’s proposed endeavor focuses on developing advanced modeling approaches for electrical hardware and system performance in both large-scale power grids and commercial electronic devices. His research aims to optimize efficiency and safety while minimizing energy loss, a goal that has broad implications for renewable integration, electrification, and smart grid modernization in the United States.
Recognized Contributions and Measurable Impact
Our team built a compelling petition demonstrating the client’s proven expertise and the measurable influence of his research. His impressive record includes 1 first-authored journal article, 10 conference papers (3 first-authored), and 2 patent application publications, underscoring both his academic productivity and the applied relevance of his innovations.
His published work has been cited 90 times, reflecting widespread reliance on his findings within the field of electrical engineering. Moreover, his reputation as a trusted authority is further demonstrated by his completion of 26 peer reviews for leading international journals and conferences – an honor reserved for distinguished experts whose insight is valued by the scientific community.
To further highlight the national importance of his research, we also presented evidence of major funding sources, including support from the Office of Naval Research and the State Grid Corporation of China, both organizations recognized for advancing research that enhances energy security and engineering innovation.
Expert Endorsements Supporting the Petition
In addition to his technical achievements, the client received four recommendation letters from independent experts and collaborators in the field. These testimonials confirmed the originality, depth, and societal value of his research.
As one expert noted:
“As such, I have to reiterate that [Client] is an indispensable member of the electrical community, and that it is in the best interest of the nation to support this talented scholar.”
A Successful Outcome
The I-140 NIW petition was approved, recognizing the client’s outstanding qualifications and the clear national interest served by his continued research. His success highlights both his individual excellence and the effectiveness of NAILG’s strategic approach in articulating the broader impact of technical innovation on national development.
As he continues his work in the United States, the client’s contributions in electrical modeling, system optimization, and energy efficiency will play a key role in advancing the reliability and resilience of the nation’s power infrastructure. His story exemplifies how world-class engineering research can drive progress toward a safer, cleaner, and more energy-efficient future.
