“I had an excellent experience working with Chen Immigration Attorneys on my NIW petition. They are highly professional, thorough, and responsive at every step of the process. The team guided me carefully through each stage, ensuring I understood what was required and why.

I especially appreciated their flexibility — when aspects of my research changed after many documents had already been drafted, they were happy to accommodate the updates seamlessly. They also reviewed every document I uploaded multiple times to ensure accuracy, catching even the smallest details so that no minor issue could risk an RFE.

Their responsiveness was outstanding: every question I asked was answered within 24 hours, which gave me confidence and kept the process moving quickly. Thanks to their guidance, my petition was drafted and submitted smoothly, resulting in a successful NIW approval in a very short timeframe.

I highly recommend Chen Immigration Attorneys to anyone pursuing an NIW petition. Their expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to clients truly make a difference.”

Case Summary:      

We are pleased to share the success story of an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval granted to a computer science expert with a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering. At the time of filing, the client was engaged in advanced research focused on high-performance computing, edge computing architectures, and chip design. Drawing on his deep expertise, he has been developing state-of-the-art modeling, optimization, and validation strategies aimed at alleviating computational and memory bottlenecks, optimizing data flow, and ensuring high functional accuracy to significantly enhance energy efficiency, performance, and scalability across critical computing systems.

Accomplishments and Evidence of Significance:
 In support of the petition, we documented a distinguished record of scholarly contributions. The client has authored 6 peer-reviewed journal articles, including 3 as first author, and 5 peer-reviewed conference papers, including 4 as first author. His body of work has already been cited 57 times, a testament to the influence and applicability of his research in the global computing community. Moreover, his expertise is recognized through service as a peer reviewer for at least 15 scholarly works, reflecting the trust of leading journals in his ability to assess cutting-edge research. His work has also been supported by a major funding award from the U.S. National Science Foundation CNS, further underscoring its national importance and alignment with U.S. interests.

Recommendation and Professional Endorsements:
 We included two strong recommendation letters from distinguished experts in related fields, each attesting to the originality, impact, and necessity of the client’s work in driving advancements in high-performance and edge computing.

One letter stated:
 “When this is taken into consideration with his academic background and his duties as reviewer, it is clear that [Client’s] work is of great value to the field and that he is an irreplaceable presence in the research sphere.”

NIW Approval and Outlook:
 Through a comprehensive petition strategy, we demonstrated that the client’s work addresses critical technological challenges, offers substantial benefits to U.S. innovation, and is well-positioned for continued success. USCIS recognized the importance of his research and granted approval of the NIW petition in just weeks under premium processing. NAILG is proud to have guided him through this milestone, and we look forward to witnessing his continued contributions that will enhance computing efficiency, scalability, and performance across industries.
