Success Stories: Expert Team from NAILG Helped an AI Scientist from China working in Computer Science SecureNIW Approval without an RFE
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you so much for your help!”
On March 3rd, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an AI Scientist in the Field of Computer Science (Approval Notice).
General Field: Computer Science
Position at the Time of Case Filing: AI Scientist
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: March 3rd, 2022
Processing Time: 12 months, 27 days
Case Summary:
As an expert in the field of computer science, our Chinese client’s proposed endeavor was to continue developing machine learning and deep learning algorithms to improve real-time computer modeling for social and environmental artificial intelligence applications. This is why, when he wanted us to file his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, we helped him in the best way possible. This was done by putting together an impressive application after the initial screening of his credentials which yielded the following information:
- His work advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because it harnesses deep learning and artificial intelligence to support wildlife protection methods.
- His work in the field has resulted in 10 peer-reviewed conference papers (1 of them first-authored) and 2 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 first-authored and 1 In Press).
- These publications have been cited a total of 64 times according to Google Scholar.
- He had received major funding support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Missouri Department of Conservation.
- He had also been invited to conduct peer reviews for well-known journals in the field some 10 times already.
- Finally, we used letters of recommendation from experts in his field to substantiate his claim to national importance. One such statement was made by an independent scholar who knew him only via his work:
Since the NIW category requires clear proof of how a petitioner’s work is serving the national interest, we were certain that this was made sufficiently clear for our client in his petition to USCIS. So, when we received the approval, we were overjoyed to inform our client and our team. We congratulate our client and wish him every success in life.
