This time we were given the opportunity to work with a computer scientist from Vietnam specializing in enhancing computer security by reducing vulnerability to cyber-attack. We submitted extensive documentation proving the high significance of his contributions to his field, including his 16 peer-reviewed journal and conference articles - a body of work that had received 195 citations by the time we filed his case. The great majority of these citations are from independent researchers distributed worldwide, demonstrating the wide reliance upon and recognition of our client’s work in his field. An independent recommender affirmed the importance of his work: “[Client]...was the first to propose a more non-intrusive security strategy that could be implemented onto any website without significantly impacting the aesthetics of function of the site. Internationally recognized for this specific work, [Client] has earned for himself a well established reputation of excellence among the field and he has since been widely followed by computer scientists across the globe.” We successfully demonstrated that our client’s continued employment in the field would benefit the people of the United States as a whole as well as his fellow researchers, and argued that he would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. His NIW petition was approved in 4 months and 8 days.
