Case Summary:
A Chinese expert in transportation systems approached NAILG for his National Interest Waiver application to the USCIS. Having a set precedent of how to approach a case, our team began looking into his academic and professional documents after signing the retainer with him. This helped them discover valuable details about him which were later used in writing his petition. Some of these details were:
- His proposed endeavor was to work on developing state-of-the-art autonomous vehicle (AV) and intelligent transportation system (ITS) frameworks in order to reduce traffic congestion, improve road safety, and encourage the ongoing development of AV and ITS technology.
- His research advancing his proposed endeavor was of great importance because it addresses challenges facing autonomous vehicle development and deployment, which has significant implications for reducing automobile accident injuries and fatalities and improving the sustainability of mobility and related economic growth around the world, as outlined in supporting letters from various experts.
- His proposed endeavor also had broad implications for the United States. As an expert points out in a supporting letter, the United States is burdened with a significant number of traffic fatalities annually. Intelligent transportation systems and autonomous vehicles reduce the number of traffic fatalities by removing the element of human error that contributes to vehicular accidents. The client’s research on improving the safety of autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation system technologies is distinctly advantageous for federal programs like the STAR Plan, which makes his ongoing work in the United States beneficial for the nation.
- Moreover, he has completed at least 14 reviews to date and his research has resulted in 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (5 of them first-authored), 2 first-authored peer-reviewed conference articles, and 2 technical reports.
- These publications have also been cited a total of 40 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of transportation systems.
- Additionally, his 11 years of work in the area have been supported by various funds and financial aids over the years. Some of them are the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the South Carolina Department of Transportation.
