Case Summary.

Catherine Gatonye helped a UX researcher specializing in automotive human-machine interface design overcome a lengthy "kitchen sink" Request for Evidence on his self-filed EB-2 NIW petition. With USCIS questioning all three NIW prongs, the response rebuilt the case around a sharply defined endeavor in safer in-vehicle digital systems, evidence of his publications' industry impact, redrafted expert letters, and a future work plan tied to national transportation safety priorities.
