Case Summary:

Hailing from India and armed with a Ph.D. in Information Technology, an assistant professor in information science asked for North America Immigration Law Group’s help in filing his NIW (National interest Waiver) petition. So our team of experts immediately started looking into his academic and professional records in order to personalize his application followed by countersigning the retainer agreement with him. We were able to trace every important detail of his career thus far from the updated CV and other documents that he provided us with.

Some of these documents contained information about his publication records, his citations, and his review experience. Others detailed funding grants that he had received and 2 testimonials that he had obtained at our suggestion from experts in his field.

• We were thus able to find that his work supports advancements in data interpretation methodologies that have applications in key fields including cybersecurity, and thus, his work bolsters major industries across the globe.
• At the same time, his research has resulted in 23 peer-reviewed journal articles (17 of them first-authored), 19 peer-reviewed conference article (14 of them first-authored), 1 technical report, and 2 book chapters (1 of them first-authored).
• These publications have also been cited a total of 145 times according to Google Scholar.
• He has also completed at least 30 peer reviews to date and one of his projects has been supported by funding from the National Institute of the General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health. This recognition of his work shows that his work is pertinent to solving medical issues in the United States.

Last but not the least, his recommenders had put a lot of trust in his work, hinging their own research on his, thus making him very reliable in the field. His work on data aggregation and data analytics thus helped improve business operations in the United States. Data analytics is critical for providing information that businesses use to accomplish their goals, including designing business models, identifying revenue streams, and providing high-quality experiences for customers. In this way, his work is integral to business enterprises across the United States, as it forms the foundation for their financial success.

Thus, when the decision arrived in his favor, we were not surprised but happy to have been a part of his immigration journey to the U.S.A. We thank him for his continued trust in our services and for retaining us for his EB1-B and I-485 petitions.

Case Summary:

“[His] systematic study of regression models and p-values is of critical value. His work helps researchers more effectively apply different types of univariate and multiple regression models to calculate p values more accurately. By helping to prevent incorrect conclusions drawn from faulty p-values in biomedical research, [client] has made a significant contribution to the field and established himself as one of its leading scientists.”

“[Client] is a researcher of biostatistics who has published a series of studies outlining and explaining some of the statistical methods that biomedical researchers most frequently use. Considering the importance of ensuring that the proper statistical tools are used for preventing statistical errors in medical studies, [his] work represents an enormously valuable contribution.”

These are excerpts taken from the letters of support that our client, a Chinese biostatistician, was able to obtain at our request from experts in the field. Both the statements make it abundantly clear that his work in the field of endeavor is of great value to the country’s health care system. He has proposed to continue his research on developing and extending novel statistical methods and modeling techniques for handling complex and uncommon data issues with the goal of creating next-generation anti-cancer treatments to significantly extend the life expectancy of cancer patients.

Thus, when he asked us to file an NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf, we took care to include these details along with information about his professional and academic career. We showed that his work has resulted in 20 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored). Moreover, these papers have been published in the top journals in his field, reflecting his peers’ recognition of the value of this research. He has published papers in no fewer than 4 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals. His publications have also been cited a total of 166 times according to Google Scholar. Elite journals in the field, have called on his expert help to peer review the work of his fellow researchers in biostatistics and allied fields some 4 times.

We are thus happy to have been of help to him in the adjudication process and we wish him the very best in life.

Case Summary:

Armed with a Ph.D. in applied mathematics, an AI research scientist from South Korea intends to continue to integrate concepts from spectral graph theory, information theory, stochastic geometry, and applied probability in order to provide unified mathematical frameworks for the advancement of data science and artificial intelligence, hired our law firm to file an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on his behalf. As a part of our job, we made sure of the veracity of his submitted credentials, and we counter-signed the attorney-client relationship agreement to lead him to a national interest waiver visa.

Here is a list of attributes that impressed us, and we aimed at organizing a unique petition packet on behalf of our client:

• His publication record was noteworthy to mention, the 4 peer-reviewed conference papers (1 of them first-authored) and 3 peer-reviewed journal articles. In computer science, papers in peer-reviewed conferences are accepted as high-quality scholarly articles, which are arguably more prestigious than journal publications. It would be incorrect to disregard conference publications while evaluating a computer scientist, a computer scientist’s conference publications are the equivalent of journal publications in other fields. Thus, the selection of our client’s research for publication in these top conference journals affirms the fact that the quality of his research sets him apart from his peers in the field.
• Not only did he complete and publish the results of his research in the field, but his research also went on to influence his colleagues as his publications were cited a total of 136 times, indicating both the originality and significance of his methods and results on his peers. Besides, based on his knowledge and expertise in the field, he has been frequently invited to conduct peer reviews for discerning journals and conferences in the field, therefore, completing 10 peer reviews to date. Since only the most remarkable researchers in the field are invited to judge the work of their peers, especially in authoritative journals confirm that our client is seen as well-read and recognized in the field of applied mathematics.
• We also highlighted the importance of his work through its funding support, provided by the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Defense. The criteria for receiving grants from both of these organizations are very stringent. The NSF awards funding to only 11,000 proposals out of an estimated 40,000 submitted each year. The DOD, according to its website, manages its research investments based on its aim of ensuring DoD is a leader in scientific discovery. Therefore, receipt of this funding demonstrates the significance and national importance of our client’s research and his success in the field.

Moreover, we noted how his research is of great importance because it enables technologies that improve health and human life, and it additionally benefits the economy at large. For this reason, his research in applied mathematics is exceptional and important to concede the benefits of artificial intelligence and data science, which span across industries like healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, financial services, and energy industries here in the United States.

We are glad that we could lead our client to his I-140 NIW petition approval. This case’s successful approval got added to our more than 17K approved cases bucket. We would like to thank our adept team for working on this case diligently and proving that our client is well-positioned to pursue his proposed work here in the U.S. considering the breadth of his 15 years of experience, as well as his leadership and expertise in the field. Also, we thank our client for choosing the North America Immigration Law Group for filing his NIW petition. We also wish him well for progressing in his chosen field.

Case Summary:

In 2020 we were approached by a data scientist from Fiji to file a petition letter on his behalf to the USCIS. In order to understand the unique requirements of her case we did a thorough study of her work thus far and then proceeded to compile a personalized petition for her. We understood well that her proposed endeavor is of great importance because of its value in combating the effects of global climate change, including the negative effects of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and climate change-associated erosion of coastal regions of the world.

It quickly became clear to our team that her endeavors have broad implications for the United States, particularly with regard to the impact of natural disasters, the frequency of which is directly associated with the accelerating effects of climate change. This helped us prepare our case by incorporating her ideas on the utilization of big clinical, bioinformatics, and environmental data to improve health and environmental practice decision-making within the US.

One of the several approaches we use to drive the case to success is making a note of the various grants and financial assistance that the client may have received within and outside of the United States of America. The proposed endeavor of this client has been supported by funding from leading agencies such as NASA, the NSF, and USAID. NASA is focused on supporting U.S. scientific breakthroughs. The NSF is focused on supporting all fields of fundamental science and engineering, while USAID leads the U.S. Government’s international development and disaster assistance through partnerships and investments. Her reception of funding from these agencies demonstrates the broad government support for her research achievements.

The recommendation letters come at last but are in no way the least important. We try to figure out how our client’s work has impacted other researchers in the field. This helps us assure that we handle the client the way they truly deserve. For instance, one of the recommenders had the following to say:

“As her curriculum vitae reflects, [client] is a superior data scientist who has garnered a strong background in the field and who now occupies a position in which she is able to continue advancing important research endeavors in data science as it relates to the environment.”

With her diligent research and efforts to mitigate the global climate crisis, we are certain of the fact that she will make a huge impact in her field. We thank her for her trust in our experience with NIW cases and for allowing us to arbitrate on her behalf with the USCIS.

Case Summary:

Due to our known expertise and experience, we assess our client’s credentials to make sure if the candidature is fitting for the applied visa. In this case, we were certain of our client’s testimony, and we agreed to lead him to the national interest waiver approval. Hence, for proving the relevance of his continued contribution to the U.S., we commenced putting all the required paperwork in his petition packet. Here are some of it in bits:

• We reviewed his research focusing on designing novel methods for analyzing and modeling complex health surveys and correlated epidemiological data to monitor non-communicable diseases and for the early detection of epidemics, concluding its great importance as it improves the ability to model and predict pandemics, which are large-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases that generally result in high morbidity and mortality rates over a wide geographic area, leading to economic, social, and political disruptions.
• Additionally, we noted the 650 citations gathered from the 29 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 first-authored), 2 data books, and 2 reports he published in no fewer than 3 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals. His citation record determines that he has a major influence on other scholars’ from around the world with his useful approaches to the study of complex studies within the field of applied statistics. Moreover, many of his papers have been among the most highly cited in the field, indicating both the originality and significance of his research work and its consequences. Besides, our client has completed 17 peer reviews, confirming that he is an active member of the scientific community and has an elevated position in the field.
• We also specified that his work has been granted funding by some national administrative and research centers, therefore getting supported by funding from leading agencies demonstrates the importance and national significance of his research and his success in the field.
• To strengthen his case further, we added four recommendation letters that he gathered from other leading experts in the field, emphasizing that countries everywhere must extend support to research like that of our client to capture their respective populations accurately and safely. The following excerpt has been taken out from one of the letters:

“The U.S. economy and public health sector rely upon concise results for patients and public research, which cannot exist without [client] and other experts contributing thorough improvements to the statistics field.”

Yet again, we were successful in convincing USCIS that our client’s research is relevant to pandemic prediction, the calibration of big data, and the improvement of clinical trials for assessing the efficacy of new pharmaceuticals and he deserves the national interest waiver. Successfully, our client received the NIW approval. We truly thank him for choosing our law firm to work with and be a part of this amazing journey.
