Case Summary:
A client from Bangladesh came to us seeking help with his NIW (National Interest Waiver) case in October of 2021. He was an expert in the field of computer science and worked as a graduate research assistant in the field. His proposed endeavor was to continue developing novel machine learning and multimodal information processing techniques in order to enhance the performance of automated systems like human behavior analysis, computer vision solutions, data analysis, medical imaging, and diagnostics technologies. So, while putting together his NIW petition, we collected the following information ensuring that his case won the approval:
- Details of his proposed endeavor and proof that his work was in the national interest of the United States.
- We showed that his work in the field has resulted in 10 peer-reviewed conference papers (4 of them first-authored), 6 peer-reviewed journal articles (4 of them first-authored), 2 pre-print articles, and 1 accepted conference paper.
- We detailed the 135 citations of his publications from all around the world making him a valuable resource in the field.
- We also showed that he had conducted 20 reviews for international journals to date.
- We were able to suggest that his study has received funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
- Finally, we collected and used 4 letters of recommendation for his petition. An excerpt from one of these is as below:
“[Client’s] research is of particular relevance to the United States because of the growing importance of artificial intelligence. As a scientist with valuable experience in developing AI technology, [client’s] research is deeply important for expanding the knowledge and practices associated with AI in the United States.”
These evidence pieces fit together to make for an impressive petition. The adjudicating authorities decided in his favor in March of 2022 only after a 4-month 23 days long adjudication period. It was thus without a doubt to us that the case approval was indeed a feat made possible by our team and our client’s unwavering commitment to us. We thank and congratulate him on this occasion and wish him the very best in life.
