Success Stories: Unique NIW Petition Approved for Assistant Research Professor in Indiana in the Field of Biomechanics
Client’s Testimonial:
“Many thanks for your email regarding my I-140 approval. I do appreciate your time and effort to get this done.”
On August 1st, 2018, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Assistant Research Professor in the Field of Biomechanics (Approval Notice).
General Field: Biomechanics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Assistant Research Professor
Country of Origin: Iran
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Indiana

Processing Time: 5 months, 30 days
Case Summary:
A recent client of ours was described as “among the elite in her field” and that she will “certainly continue to produce highly valuable research in biomechanics and orthopedics in the years ahead.”
With a doctoral degree in biomechanics and many years of experience progressing the field, it was not surprising that our client’s peers came out in full force to support the approval of her EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. In total, we incorporated four letters into her customized NIW petition dossier, all of which were signed by other influential researchers. Besides these letter of support, our client’s NIW petition contained details on the 7 times she assessed the work of her peers, the 110 times her work was cited, and the 14 publications in her name. We used these numbers to not only prove that our client is well-positioned to advance the field of biomechanics, but also to demonstrate her high standing in the field.
Arguably one of the most important elements of our client’s NIW petition was detailed descriptions of her work on improving treatment for osteoarthritis. We worked closely with our client to properly analyze and understand her work and its impact on the United States. Overall, we successfully proved to the USCIS that our client possesses considerable experience and expertise in a highly specialized field and that her work holds significant implications for bettering healthcare in the United States.
As we have successfully petitioned over I-140 cases, we knew just what to do to help our client obtain the national interest waiver. We also supplied her with much-needed information on the best timing to file her case as well as what her NIW petition packet should contain. As a firm that has helped thousands of clients achieve their permanent residency dreams, we are pleased that we managed to help our client overcome this significant hurdle in the green card process. We congratulate her on this and thank her for working with us.
