Success Stories: A Senior Associate in the Field of Heat Transfer from Kazakhstan Secured NIW Approval Just 4 Days After NAmILG Filed the Case
Client’s Testimonial:
“This is great news! I really appreciate your help with this matter. It has been great working with you!”
On October 23rd, 2023, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Senior Associate in the field of Heat Transfer (Approval Notice).
General Field: Heat Transfer
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Associate
Country of Origin: Kazakhstan
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts
Approval Notice Date: October 23rd, 2023
Processing Time: 4 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
As a heat transfer expert, our client’s proposed endeavor would involve carrying out his research using cutting-edge experimental techniques to investigate heat transfer modes to address heat transfer issues that arise in the scientific and engineering communities. Thus, he approached the North America Immigration Law Group to help him achieve a national interest waiver so that he could advance his research, which is of great importance because it uncovers the intricate dynamics of high-pressure boiling phenomena and is relevant to improving safety and efficiency in nuclear reactor electricity production.
Highly impressed with his research background and other substantial merits, we decided to take his case and strategize his I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. We acquired detailed information on his educational and professional background. Our extensive knowledge of immigration, which has helped over 32K petitioners obtain successful outcomes in their particular cases, made it possible for us to secure NIW approval in this case as well.
We incorporated the following attributes in his NIW customized petition packet:
- We emphasized that he has secured a Ph.D. in nuclear science and engineering, and his research has resulted in 11 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored) and 3 conference papers (1 of them first-authored), which he published in no less than 7 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals.
- He has not only finished his research in the field and published its results, but his work has also influenced others in the field. In a nutshell, Google Scholar demonstrates that his works have received 207 citations overall, demonstrating their high regard and recognition in the field of heat transfer.
- In addition, his proposed project resonates with the critical importance of nuclear energy to the United States and has wide ramifications for the country. His studies improve our knowledge of heat transfer mechanisms, bubble behaviors, and nucleation dynamics, which enhances the efficiency, safety, and dependability of electricity generation in a variety of contexts.
- Moreover, his research has received financial support from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the Consortium for Advanced Simulations of Light Water Reactors (CASL), and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) because of its evident national value. This financing is only obtainable for studies that further the interests of the country, particularly projects that directly improve the durability and safety of nuclear energy. Consequently, our client’s work represents progress toward his larger goal of advancing heat transfer modes research.
In conclusion, we are happy that the USCIS thoroughly reviewed his petition material and approved his request for NIW (National Interest Waiver) within 4 days without issuing him with any RFEs. We are grateful that he has continued to have faith in our method. We now wish him the best of luck in his appeal for the green card.
