Posted by wegreened on January 30, 2026 in Mechanical Engineering (Aeronautical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering), NIW

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you again for your excellent support throughout this process.”

On November 13^th, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Design Engineer in the Field of Mechanics of Soft Materials (Approval Notice).

General Field: Mechanics of Soft Materials

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Design Engineer

Country of Origin: Bangladesh

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Illinois

Approval Notice Date: November 13^th, 2025

Processing Time: 4 months, 6 days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

A researcher in soft materials mechanics recently secured NIW approval with NAILG’s assistance, based on a well-supported endeavor aimed at improving biomedical modeling and tissue characterization methods. His work addresses critical needs in vision restoration and broader medical applications by advancing how clinicians and engineers evaluate and design therapies for soft biological tissues.

His proposed endeavor focuses on developing advanced experimental and computational techniques to better understand the biomechanical and microstructural properties of soft tissues, particularly under specific physiological conditions. By improving the accuracy and reliability of biomechanical assessments, his research supports the design of more effective biomaterials and targeted therapeutic strategies. This work aligns closely with national priorities in healthcare, biomedical engineering, and vision science.

The petitioner earned a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and has established a strong record of research productivity. He has authored eight peer-reviewed journal articles, including two as first author, along with one preprint as first author and twelve conference abstracts. His publications have been cited 34 times by independent researchers, demonstrating an ongoing influence within his field.

His research has also received meaningful recognition through competitive funding from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, two of the most significant supporters of scientific and medical research in the United States. This level of funding underscores the importance and national relevance of his work, particularly in areas related to biomedical materials, tissue mechanics, and translational health research.

With this NIW approval, the petitioner is well-positioned to further his contributions to biomedical engineering and healthcare innovation within the United States. His ongoing research is expected to strengthen national capabilities in diagnosing and treating complex tissue-related diseases, supporting both scientific advancement and improved patient outcomes.
