Success Story: An Indian Principal Deep Learning Software Engineer Working in the Field of Artificial Intelligence Obtains both NIW and EB1A Approvals with the help of NAILG’s Experts

 

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you so much! This is fantastic!”


On August 27th, 2024, and March 6th, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) and EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approvals for a Principal Deep Learning Software Engineer in the Field of Artificial Intelligence (Approval Notice).


General Field: Artificial Intelligence

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Principal Deep Learning Software Engineer

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Washington

Approval Notice Date: : August 27th, 2024 (NIW) and March 6th, 2025 (EB1A)

Processing Time: 1 month, 12 days (NIW) (Premium Processing Requested), and 2 months, 14 days (EB1A) (Premium Processing Requested)


Case Summary:

A client from India with a Ph.D. in natural language processing approached us to help her file the I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) and EB1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petitions; we, therefore, employed our team of experts to build a reasonable case for her. We included details from her professional and academic career in her petition packet to support her claim in both categories.

However, there are certain requirements to be fulfilled by an individual, including but not limited to the following:

★ The foreign national must be in a position to advance the proposed endeavor. ★ The applicant must present evidence that the U.S. would benefit on balance to waive the job offer criteria for an EB-2. ★ A proposed endeavor holds substantial merit and national importance.

Therefore, we showcased that, along with her academic qualifications:

➢ She is an established expert in artificial intelligence, and within this broader field, she is one of the few leading specialists in natural language processing and deep learning. ➢ She has achieved a consistent and notable record of success and influence in this area of study and is especially well-known for developing a machine-learning-based approach to predict cancer survival and treatment resistance.

On the other hand, we highlighted that her academic performance has been responsible for several publications and citations:

1. Her research has resulted in 5 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them first-authored and 1 co-first-authored), 6 peer-reviewed conference articles (4 of them first-authored), 2 preprints (both of them first-authored), and 1 conference abstract; 2. Her publications have been cited a total of 376 times, according to Google Scholar, in at least 36 countries; 3. She has completed at least 29 peer reviews for at least 4 journals and conference proceedings.

Not only this, but the recommendations had an excellent review of her work, one (out of six) of which is quoted below:

“[Client’s] research is intrinsically valuable to advancements in artificial intelligence and its safe deployment in essential data-intensive areas. Her work on evaluating large language models is particularly significant, as it addresses the intrinsic issue of ensuring these models perform accurately and reliably in real-world scenarios…Additionally, her work frees up the valuable time of practitioners while maintaining doctor-patient confidentiality, ensuring more considerate and robust care. It also facilitates patient transfers and diagnoses and helps to inform treatment strategies around individual symptoms. These essential contributions signify the value of her ongoing work in building reliable artificial intelligence systems for medical research, diagnosis, and care.”

Based on this multifactorial assessment, it is clear that the client’s education, experience, expertise, documented record of success, influence in her field, and plan have altogether well-positioned her in her field of expertise.

We are thus very proud that our client got her NIW and EB1A approvals with the correct guidance and support from our team. We wish her the very best in her future endeavors. It has been an amazing journey with her.
