EB-2 NIW Approval for Electronics Engineer from Ecuador

Attorney Renom and her team prepared the initial petition supported by extensive evidence, including recommendation letters, a detailed business plan, letters from organizations interested in the client’s work, professional awards, and articles he published about drone and aviation technology. The petition also explained how his work connected to important U.S. priorities, including the National Drone and Advanced Air Mobility Initiative, the FAA’s Research & Development Initiative for unmanned aircraft systems, national security objectives related to border and infrastructure monitoring, and environmental technology efforts supported by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued an RFE questioning if the client’s work would have a broader impact across the United States, beyond his specific job.

Attorney Qiu worked closely with the client to prepare a focused response addressing USCIS questions about the broader impact of his work in drone and aviation technology.

The response focused on organizing and clearly explaining the strongest evidence already included in the petition. The legal team clarified how the client’s work in drone technology related to areas such as emergency response, infrastructure monitoring, and public safety in the United States.

USCIS approved the EB-2 NIW petition after the RFE response, recognizing the national importance of our client’s work in advancing unmanned aircraft systems in the United States.

The approval confirms that his expertise and its application in areas such as national security, emergency response, and infrastructure monitoring meets the standard for a National Interest Waiver.

With this approval, the client is positioned to establish a technology-oriented enterprise specializing in unmanned aerial vehicles, advancing AI-driven aerial platform management, sensor deployment, and data processing in the United States. He will work alongside emergency response teams, security organizations, and academic institutions, while developing partnerships with both the private sector and government agencies.
