Case Summary:
The North America Immigration Law Group regularly represents foreign nationals to USCIS who petition for the I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) visa category. In this case, an assistant professor of food engineering has been approved. The client has given our law firm permission to share her story to inspire others who are considering filing under the NIW to seek a green card or permanent residency in the United States.
There are various advantages to filing an NIW petition prior to obtaining a green card. The NIW is one of the options available under US immigration rules for attracting highly qualified candidates whose work has significant merit and is of national importance. Unlike most employment-based categories, the NIW category does not require an application from the petitioning employer. If approved, the NIW category eliminates the need for labor certification.
Therefore, our client requested that we prepare a strong NIW petition package on her behalf, realizing our law firm has filed NIWs for our clients and has over 32,000 approved cases under its belt. We as a team assured her that we would include all the applicable information in her petition packet to help her obtain the national interest waiver.
The following is the secret ingredient for our client’s NIW approval in just 2 days.
- Our NIW Client’s Research Background
In the field of food engineering, the client has established an excellent track record. In her position as an assistant professor, she has led the way in the field by developing new projects in sustainability for food processing, focusing on areas such as edible food packaging from food waste, powdered ingredients from food waste, biomass and biofuel production, and biodegradable packaging, in order to enhance environmental sustainability and food safety.
In addition, her study has received funding from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, and the Pinar – Pinar Dairy Products. This support of her research therefore serves as evidence that she is promoting environmental sustainability by extending the shelf life of cheese, reducing food waste, and contributing to a more sustainable food production process.
- Our client has an Impressive Track Record
The client’s study and work have been featured in a variety of professional journals. She has presented her work in some of the best publication venues in her industry, which has led to 16 peer-reviewed journal articles (9 of them first-authored) and 17 abstracts (5 of them first-authored), reflecting her peers’ recognition of the value of this research.
Furthermore, her research has numerous practical implications. In addition to concluding and publishing the results of her in-field research, her work has affected her colleagues in the field. For example, the fact that her publications have received 577 citations demonstrates their popularity and dependability in the subject of food engineering.
- Final Verdict
The United States benefits immensely from the originality and experience of highly talented foreign nationals who enter the country under the EB2 NIW category. These brilliant individuals, such as our client, contribute to the country’s progress and help it maintain its status as a global leader in technology and innovation. We are extremely thrilled that her petition was approved just 2 days after we filed it through the upgraded premium processing service. We appreciate her collaboration with our law firm throughout the process and allowing us to share her fantastic approval story.
