Success Stories: A Vietnamese Research Scholar in Computer Science Receives National Interest Waiver (NIW) Approval in Just 4 Months with Our Help

 

Client’s Testimonial:

“I would like to thank you for your enthusiastic support. Once again thank you so much!”


On March 22nd, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Scholar in the Field of Computer Science (Approval Notice).


General Field: Computer Science

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Scholar

Country of Origin: Vietnam

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts

Approval Notice Date: March 22nd, 2022

Processing Time: 4 months


Case Summary:

As an expert in the field of computer science, our NIW(National Interest Waiver) client’s proposed endeavor was to continue her work with neural network radial basis function (RBF), adjusting weights, iterative methods, and clustering interpolation landmarks to design and develop algorithms and models to solve real-world interpolation and regression problems across industries. This work is evidently important because it has directly contributed to the advancement of the field of computer science, particularly in the arenas of artificial intelligence and machine learning. It is due to this reason that she found 4 experts ready to corroborate her expertise in the area. One of them said:

“[Client’s] research has worldwide applications, particularly in developing mechanisms to diagnose and treat cancer and diabetes. [The client] developed machine learning techniques to help improve medical image processing, which supports cancer diagnoses and the detection of diseases caused by diabetes. [Client’s] research work in the computer science field is one of a kind and offers a unique venue for additional preventative and diagnoses measures.”

As stated by the above recommender, our client’s work was one of a kind and valuable to the United States. We were able to support this claim by including the following in her petition letter:

  • She has been invited to evaluate the work of her peers a massive 80 times to date.
  • Her work has resulted in 16 peer-reviewed journal articles (6 of them first-authored), 18 conference papers (10 of them first-authored), and 4 books (3 of them first-authored).
  • These publications have been cited a total of 84 times according to Google Scholar.
  • Furthermore, her study has received funding from 3 national and international organizations.
  • She has pursued research directly related to her proposed endeavor in order to solve real-world interpolation and regression problems across industries for 16 years.
Hence her education, experience, expertise, record of publication and citation, and history of successful research in the field all helped us indicate that she is well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor. These facts established that it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the requirements of a job offer and labor certification, granting her the NIW.

Then, on receipt of her approval just 120 days from filing, we rejoiced in the fact that we got to be a part of her success story. We wish her all the very best in her future endeavors.
