Case Summary:

An expert in the field of mechanical engineering, came to NAILG seeking help with his NIW petition. Hailing from Iran, he was a senior scientist in the field and wanted to continue his work in the United States. Thus, for his National Interest Waiver application, he needed our help. So our team got together and made sure to get him the approval as quickly as possible and compiled his petition packet using academic and professional documents furnished by him. Some of the data collected by us were as follows:

His proposed endeavor is to continue his research on designing and optimizing manufacturing processes and systems in order to enhance and scale the development of pharmaceuticals.
His research advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because it directly addresses the critical failures and gaps revealed in the global pharmaceutical supply chain by COVID-19.
He has completed at least 38 reviews to date for international journals of repute.
His research has resulted in 11 peer-reviewed journal articles (8 of them first-authored).
And these publications have been cited a total of 163 times according to Google Scholar.
Furthermore, his study has received funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
He has been pursuing research directly related to his proposed endeavor for 9 years now.
Finally, he also has 4 letter recommendations from experts in his field of which one said:

“It is in the interest of the United States to optimize polymer manufacturing as a combative tool against climate change and the proliferation of harmful microplastics in precious natural resources. As a global leader in innovative climate-friendly solutions, the United States must reconsider complex manufacturing processes and optimize polymer injection techniques where it applies. In this age of climate reckoning, [the client] and his critical research endeavors hold extreme value for the United States.”

All these facts along with the letters of recommendation helped us prove that his petition held merit and should be approved therewith. So we were overjoyed to hear that his petition got an approval nod in less than 3 months' time. We wish our client a great future ahead.
