On September 25th, 2021, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Chief Architect in the Field of Network Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Network Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Chief Architect
Country of Origin: Saudi Arabia
Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: Saudi Arabia
Approval Notice Date: September 25th, 2021
Processing Time: 10 months, 16 days
Case Summary:
A client from Saudi Arabia holding an MS in electrical engineering/wireless communications approached us to file his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition approval. He is currently working as a chief architect in the field of network engineering with his proposed endeavor to research and design innovative computer and information network solutions to create superior network architectures.
- His research has great substantial merit and national importance as his work is relevant to reducing wireless interference and improving the connectivity of wireless networks for 5G communications and Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
Also, under the “National Interest Waiver” (NIW) provision for EB-2, the following requirements must be noted:
- The applicant must present evidence that the U.S. would benefit on balance to waive the job offer criteria for an EB-2.
- The foreign national must be in a position to advance the proposed endeavor.
- A proposed endeavor, holding substantial merit and national importance
Therefore, to fulfill the above-stated essentials, we highlighted the following areas in our client’s petition packet:
- His research has resulted in 12 conference papers and 3 peer-reviewed journal articles.
- His publications have been cited a total of 96 times according to Google Scholar.
Other experts in the field provide additional insight into the merit of this endeavor, one out of five remarked:
“[Client’s] research is exceptionally valuable to the 96% of Americans who own a cell phone… With such a massive majority of US citizens owning a mobile device and relying on it for everything from phone calls to an internet connection…[Client’s] many research projects are a meaningful part of the research currently being done in this area, as his work reduces interference while promoting quick and efficient destination pathways.”
As evident by his prior mentioned impressive record of success, our client is a member of the profession holding an advanced degree. We are thus very pleased that he finally received his NIW approval, despite waiting for a longer period. He has even retained our firm for his IVP case. We wish him the very best in life and genuinely congratulate him on this wonderful breakthrough.
