Success Stories: North America Immigration Law Group Helps Another Indian Researcher in Mechanical Engineering Get EB1-A Approval in Just 43 Days
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thanks a lot for everything.”
On November 24th, 2021, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Researcher in the Field of Mechanical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Mechanical Engineering
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher
Country of Origin: India
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Minnesota
Approval Notice Date: November 24th, 2021
Processing Time: 1 month, 12 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
“[Client’s] work has been generously supported directly with funding from the U.S. Office of Naval Research…[client’s] in-depth research on the characterization and functions of propellers is demonstrably useful to the United States national interests. Aiding the United States military with computational designs and simulations is a clear confirmation of the value of the work [the client] has done to maintain the United States’ competitive edge in the global technology marketplace.”
“[Client’s] work is a fantastic example of practical research predicting the natural events which are at the root of the environments of various commercial industries, and he has meaningfully furthered vehicular safety with this undertaking.”
These are words of appreciation said by experts in the field of mechanical engineering for our client who hails from India and is a researcher himself in the field. He is one of the few leading fluid dynamics experts in the area, and he is especially well-known for large eddy simulation (LES) of flow over the hull, prediction, and analysis of propeller flows, the behavior of confined tip vortices, and understanding of pressure gradient effects on turbulent boundary layers.
The field has thus recognized his authority by inviting him to review and evaluate the work of his peers no fewer than 43 times. On the other hand, he has also actively engaged his peers in the field of mechanical engineering by authoring and co-authoring 7 peer-reviewed journal articles and 7 peer-reviewed conference papers that have been published in international journals and conference proceedings. Due to its great applicability in the field, this research in mechanical engineering has been cited 183 times in other peer-reviewed journal articles according to Google Scholar.
So, when he wanted us to file his EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) application, we made sure our team prepared a winning case that included all of the above information along with a few other things. We were certain that he would be able to fulfill the demands of the category set by USCIS, such as undeniable proof of his extraordinary ability. This was made possible by the 4 letters of recommendation from experts of which two excerpts are mentioned above.
We are thus proud of having had this opportunity to represent him in this case and we wish him the very best in all future endeavors. We also thank him for his continued trust in us and for retaining us to file his NIW petition.
