Assessing eligibility and strengthening profile for EB2-NIW application without a research background
Question details
I'm from Bangladesh and am pursuing a non-thesis Master’s degree in Civil Engineering at Texas A&M University. My area of specialization is Geotechnical Engineering. I’ll graduate with my degree in May 2025 after completing a co-op with one of the top Engineering and construction companies in the United States. The company also offered me a full-time position after my graduation so that I could continue my work with them. Many PhD candidates from my country with a master's degree are applying for EB2-NIW using their citations and research experience.
1. Since I lack a prominent research background (basically, I have no experience at all in terms of publication/citation), do I have a chance of getting approval for EB2-NIW?
2. Is citation/research compulsory for EB2-NIW to get approved?
3. If I want to apply in the future, how should I prepare my profile to increase my chances? I’m more interested in working in the industry than in research and academia.
4. I want to mention that, from my experience, there is a huge demand for geotechnical engineers in the civil engineering industry, but not many people, especially Americans, are pursuing this major. Can I use this fact to show national interest?
FAQ Transcript
The key is to emphasize activities and achievements that demonstrate your potential to contribute significantly at a national scale. Your profile should highlight projects or initiatives that have a broad, national-level impact, as this aligns closely with the NIW criteria.
After leaving previous employer, and got the position with new employer. I was looking for good lawyer or firm, I talked and met with many top immigration lawyer firm, no one convinced me. When I talked to Rajiv S. Khanna, I was convinced because I could feel the truth inside him, and the knowledge he has. He and his great team took my case, prepared, and filed successfully. Mathew, Mark,William, and Rajiv were really helpfull. There is true diversity in Rajiv S. Khanna law firm. They all work like a fmily. Mark was really helpfull during whole process from AC21 to getting the GC, include filing AP, and EAD. He always promptly response, alwasys keep posted, and file all documents timely. Any legal question Mathew promptly respond, and resolved. I love them. I would highly recommend Rajiv S.
