Success Story: Overcoming RFE! A Professor Secures NIW Approval with Our Expert Assistance

Case Summary:     

“Supporting her research holds significant potential for advancing the field of industrial economics and contributing valuable insights into cultural preservation and economic sustainability efforts in the United States.”

The above statement, taken from one of the two recommendation letters submitted as part of the I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, reflects the high regard for an accomplished scholar in industrial economics. With careful preparation and strategic presentation, our team highlighted the client’s strong academic record, the importance of her proposed endeavor, and her capacity to advance it in the United States.

Holding a Ph.D. in management–business administration, the client’s proposed endeavor centers on investigating modern cultural industries in the context of a rapidly expanding digital economy.

We emphasized the national significance of this work, demonstrating how it addresses pressing U.S. interests in cultural preservation and regional economic vitality. Her research provides evidence-based frameworks to ensure growth in these areas is both sustainable and equitable.

To establish her record of achievement, we highlighted an impressive body of scholarly contributions: 16 peer-reviewed journal articles (15 first-authored), 2 first-authored conference papers, and 1 first-authored book. Collectively, these works have been cited 115 times according to Google Scholar, underscoring her impact and influence in the field. She has also served as a reviewer on at least 14 occasions for respected journals and conferences, further evidencing her recognition as a trusted expert.

Although the petition received a Request for Evidence (RFE), it was ultimately approved after an upgrade to Premium Processing, confirming the strength of the case. We are proud to have supported this accomplished researcher and wish her continued success as she advances groundbreaking work.
