Case Summary:

Armed with a Ph.D. in computing and information systems, a software engineer from China came to North America Immigration Law Group in September of 2020 seeking help in filing his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition at USCIS. It quickly became apparent that his case was indeed genuine and that it deserved an approval after the initial vetting that all of the clients go through. In this initial stage, we also take care to make the client aware of the various options available to them and once the client settles on the type of application they need to file, we countersign the retainer agreement without further ado. This ensures that all of our clients are fully aware of the terms and conditions and our work ethic. It is this diligence and attention to details that has helped our firm grow so quickly. With over 25,000 case approvals, our firm has become one of the leading law firms in the field.

This is what drew our client from China to us, and we made sure that he got the best service possible. This meant using our team of experts to prepare a case that would get a quick approval without any RFE. So we asked the client to furnish us with his academic and professional records and letters of support from experts in his field. The appointed attorney then used this information to put together a petition packet that was revised and approved by the client before the submission, ensuring that there were no mistakes in any of the documents. Given the strict standards of the USCIS, this is an important step in the application process.

Here are a few samples of the recommendations that he received and forwarded to be attached with his application. While one of them says that his research has “incalculable” benefits for the field, another says that his work is in alignment with the interests of the United States.

“The importance of [client’s] research is due in large part to his pioneering research on key exchange protocols. Key exchange protocols are mechanisms used by two parties to communicate over an adversary-controlled network and are therefore critical for protecting the transmission of data over insecure networks. The absence of such research not only makes it difficult to safeguard communications; it also limits the effectiveness of ongoing research in the computer science field. Thus, it is in filling this gap in the literature that [the client] has made incalculably important contributions to the field.”

“Given these figures, it is clear that [client’s] research is immensely beneficial to both the economy and the energy infrastructure of the United States. One key aspect is the ability to ensure the security of smart grids. [The client’s] key management scheme offers a secure means of communication, which is critical to the practical application of smart grids.”

At the same time, his work has resulted in 21 peer-reviewed journal and conference articles (5 of which he first-authored) and these publications have been cited a total of 221 times according to Google Scholar. He has also conducted at least 18 reviews, including reviews for international journals of repute.

All of this information put together made for a very convincing case in his favor leading his petition to approval. We are thankful to him for choosing us to represent him in this case.
