An engineer and business strategist obtained a U.S. green card under the EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) by developing a mobile application that fills a critical gap in the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem. Leveraging advanced degrees in Engineering and Management, the petitioner created a scalable digital solution to connect EV owners with certified service providers, addressing the specialized maintenance needs of high-voltage systems, batteries, and electric drivetrains.
An engineer and business strategist was granted a U.S. green card under the EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) category by launching an innovative mobile application that addresses a critical infrastructure gap in the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem. The petitioner holds advanced degrees in Engineering and Management and used this cross-disciplinary background to lead the development of a scalable digital solution for the growing EV market.
While the U.S. market already offers various apps for locating EV charging stations, there is no dedicated digital tool for finding certified service providers or scheduling specialized maintenance. Electric vehicles require trained professionals certified to work on high-voltage systems, battery modules, and electric drivetrains – making standard auto service platforms inadequate for EV needs.
The petitioner’s platform bridges this gap by connecting EV owners with qualified, certified service centers, enabling users to search and compare specialized EV services, book maintenance appointments directly through the app, and others.
The business model projected job creation in areas such as software development, EV technician training partnerships, logistics coordination, and customer service. The petition met the EB-2 NIW criteria through original contributions to the automobile industry nationwide.
