We take pride in delivering exceptional service to our clients, always striving to exceed expectations when a case requires extra effort. Since our establishment, our dedicated team at NAILG has meticulously handled petitions, successfully assisting over 32,000 clients worldwide in securing case approvals.
When we received a request to file a National Interest Waiver (NIW) application for a Chinese graduate research assistant with a B.S. in computer science and technology, we ensured he received the support he needed. To strengthen his NIW petition, we prepared a comprehensive package that included all relevant information:
- As an expert in the field of artificial intelligence safety, his proposed endeavor is to continue his research on developing diagnostic and enhancement approaches to improving the robustness of artificial intelligence-enabled software systems to improve a range of safety-critical applications involving facial recognition and self-driving vehicles, an area of research of clear substantial merit and national importance.
- Since his research establishes actionable tools for detecting malicious activity in artificial intelligence-based systems, his work is necessary to strengthen the nation's cybersecurity and ensure the safe deployment of intelligent technologies.
- Furthermore, his research has been supported by prestigious institutions, including the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and National Science Foundation (NSF). This funding is reserved solely for research directed at advancing key national interests, including national security, prosperity, health, and intelligence capabilities, confirming the alignment of his study with these valuable initiatives.
- His scholarly impact includes 11 peer-reviewed conference articles (2 of them first-authored) and 2 preprints (1 of them first-authored), which have collectively been cited 270 times, according to Google Scholar.
We carefully compiled all these elements into a persuasive petition letter and submitted it to USCIS for review. With the advantage of premium processing, his case was approved in just 2 months and 4 days. It was a privilege to support him, and we wish him continued success in his research.
