Canadian Engineer Considering EB2 NIW
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for an honest profile evaluation for an EB-2 NIW. I know the sub sees a lot of heavily-cited PhD/academic researchers, but I want to see how realistic this is for an industry practitioner who doesn't have a traditional paper trail.
Here are my details:
Background: Born and raised in Canada
Education: Did my undergrad in Civil Engineering in Canada, and completed my Master’s in Civil Engineering in the US.
Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in heavy civil infrastructure projects, specifically focusing on large-scale municipal and utility infrastructure (sewers, watermains, and major transit projects).
Credentials: Licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Canada.
The Major Hurdle: Like most people who work strictly in industry, I have zero academic publications and zero citations. My work is documented through engineering design reports, technical specifications, and project execution, not journals.
Do you think this profile has a short at EB-2 NIW ?
