Success Stories: NAILG Assisted a Postdoctoral Researcher in Electrical Engineering in Securing NIW Approval in Just 2 Months and 16 Days
Client’s Testimonial:
“I am so glad that my case is approved that quickly. This is definitely the shortest approval time I have ever heard of among my friends. I have already recommended your group to others and will continue to do so; I also wanted to express my appreciation for the well-crafter letters and responses I received from you. During the preparation stage of my Summary of the Contribution document, I initially spent a considerable amount of time shaping it to match the provided example. However, as I progressed, I realized this wasn't necessary. I believe that having a few more examples at that stage would have significantly reduced the extra time I spent. That said, I am very pleased with the final documents and truly appreciate your time and efforts. Thank you!”
On July 18th, 2023, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Field of Electrical Engineering (Approval Notice).
General Field: Electrical Engineering

Country of Origin: Turkey
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts
Approval Notice Date: July 18th, 2023
Processing Time: 2 months, 16 days
Case Summary:
North America Immigration Law Group recently secured an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval from USCIS for a postdoctoral researcher in electrical engineering. His work has significantly impacted the field and plays a crucial role in improving disease diagnosis and treatment, particularly for cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
To qualify for an NIW, applicants must demonstrate that their work has substantial merit and national importance and that they should be exempt from the standard labor certification requirement.
We carefully reviewed our client’s research background and prepared a strong petition tailored to his qualifications. We highlighted our client’s dedication to electrical engineering, particularly his advancements in biomedical imaging techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging, which enhance disease diagnosis and treatment. As a Ph.D. holder in electrical and electronics engineering and a recognized researcher in the field of electrical engineering, he has contributed to designing biomedical hardware and characterizing magnetic nanoparticles as contrast agents, addressing critical public health concerns in the U.S. and globally.
His influence in the field is evident through his authorship of 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 as first author) in at least 7 highly ranked journals. His research has received 284 citations on Google Scholar, reflecting its significant impact. Additionally, he has conducted eight peer reviews for prestigious journals, further demonstrating his expertise.
His work has also received funding from respected organizations, including the Scientific and Technological Research Institution of Turkey (TUBITAK), the Knut and Alice Wallenburg Foundation (KAW), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Swedish Research Council (VR), which support groundbreaking research in medicine, technology, and societal development.
To strengthen his petition, we included two recommendation letters affirming his academic achievements and research contributions. One letter emphasized that:
“To summarize, [client] is a highly accomplished electrical engineer with a strong academic background and a proven track record of successful research. His work on nanoparticle contrast agents for MRI technology has important implications for healthcare in the United States, and as such, it is critical that he be allowed to continue his research in the country without any delays.”
Given his internationally recognized research and significant contributions to electrical engineering, our client is a valuable asset to the U.S. research community. Despite not using premium processing, we still managed to help him secure NIW approval in just 2 months and 16 days. We appreciate his trust in our firm and wish him continued success in his career.
