Success Story: NIW Approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of Mechanical and Agricultural Engineering with only 2 Citations to His Work

 

On November 1st, 2013, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) Approval for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of Mechanical and Agricultural Engineering (Approval Notice)

General Field: Mechanical and Agricultural Engineering

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Postdoctoral Research Associate

Country of Origin: China

Service Center: Nebraska Service Center (NSC)

State of Residence at the Time of Filing:  Washington

Approval Notice Date: November 1, 2013

Processing Time:  9 months, 29 days (10 days after responding to RFE)

Case Summary:

Another exceptional client that North America Immigration Law Group – WeGreened.com had the pleasure of working with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from China working in the field of mechanical and agricultural engineering.  His work had focused specifically on creating models to improve agricultural production systems, with a special focus on biofuel production. We demonstrated that his continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in his field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of mechanical and agricultural engineering, including at least 2 peer-reviewed journal articles. His publications had been cited at least 2 times at the time of case filing.  Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “Advanced tilling methods like the kind that [he] has developed will not only guarantee adequate income to farmers, but they will also help stabilize and lower prices on the consumer end. Although the U.S. presently has the resources to provide adequate levels of food, price is still a major factor keeping people from being well-fed. Thus, [his] project has benefits for both producers and consumers.”  Through extensive documentation, we were still able to successfully argue that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW application was approved just 10 days after we responded to the RFE.
