Case Summary:

“Thus, [Client ]’s record of achievement to date more than evidences the indispensability of his research to the United States.”

This insight comes from one of the recommendation letters included in the NIW petition of our client, a computer scientist with a master’s degree in information technology. With a strong background in artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and human-computer interaction, the client approached North America Immigration Law Group to assist in securing an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval.

Client Background and Field

The client is an expert in computer science whose research focuses on enhancing cooperation between humans and AI to create augmented reality (AR)-based intelligent healthcare solutions for decision-making and problem-solving. By integrating AI with AR, the client’s work aims to make medical procedures more precise, reduce diagnostic errors, and enable healthcare professionals to make faster, data-driven decisions.

The client’s research has resulted in 6 peer-reviewed journal articles (all first-authored) and 4 conference papers (2 first-authored), which collectively have been cited 50 times according to Google Scholar. Additionally, the client has completed at least 5 peer reviews for notable international journals – an indication of their standing as a trusted expert in the field.

Establishing National Importance

The petition clearly demonstrated how the client’s work serves the national interest of the United States by:

Developing AI-assisted decision support systems that reduce diagnostic errors and enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery.
Promoting human-AI collaboration to improve healthcare accessibility and reduce physician workload.
Advancing critical technology sectors vital to U.S. public health and national competitiveness in emerging medical technology markets.

Case Outcome

By strategically presenting the client’s achievements and aligning them with U.S. national interests, our firm successfully demonstrated that waiving the job offer requirement was justified under the NIW framework. The petition was approved without issue, reaffirming the client’s importance to advancing critical research in AI-driven healthcare.

We are proud to have supported this remarkable researcher’s journey and look forward to seeing continued innovations that bridge technology and medicine – paving the way for safer, smarter, and more efficient healthcare systems in the United States and beyond.
