Success Stories: NIW Approval was Obtained for a Research Engineer in Computer Science Hailing from Georgia, Credit Goes to Our Team’s Efforts
Client’s Testimonial:
“I enjoyed working with the attorney team. Thank you very much for your service and support. I appreciate it!”
On April 22nd, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Research Engineer in the Field of Computer Science (Approval Notice).
General Field: Computer Science
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Engineer
Country of Origin: Georgia
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: New York
Approval Notice Date: April 22nd, 2022
Processing Time: 12 months, 1 day
Case Summary:
“[The client] is a scholar in the field of computer science whose research has addressed these issues, specifically through his development of TreeScale. This technology provides companies with the required tooling to allow more efficiency, which enables software engineers to focus on coding business logic. As such, [the client] is a researcher whose continued work is imperative to software companies around the world.”
As a recommender of our NIW client from Georgia correctly stated, his work is of global significance and should thus continue. This is a small glimpse of the 4 letters of recommendation written specifically to help our client win the approval of the USCIS. Our client, a research engineer in computer science was an expert in the field and wanted our help to file his National Interest Waiver petition. As an expert in the field of computer science, his proposed endeavor was to continue developing programming applications and create reliable and secure platforms for cloud computing, VOIP communication, the Internet of Things, and cyber-physical systems to address cyber-attacks and enhance emergency response capabilities.
Thus, while looking through his documents and researching before preparing his petition letter, we realized that his proposed endeavor is of great importance because of the value that it provides to the software industry, enabling improved scalability, more efficient operations, and improved software code quality, among other benefits.
On the other hand, he has completed at least 9 reviews to date. With this in mind, we noted that his work in the field has resulted in 4 peer-reviewed conference and journal papers which have been cited a total of 62 times according to Google Scholar.
Thus, we gave detailed descriptions of 4 of his key projects which were included as evidence of his contributions to and expertise in the field of computer science. Due to its clear implications for software optimization and company operations, his research has also already attracted the attention of the private sector. He has also pursued research directly related to his proposed endeavor for 6 years now.
All of these factors count when it comes to proving the worth of petitioners for the adjudication of their cases at USCIS. We are thus proud to have worked on this case and won the approval for our client. We thank him and wish him the very best in his future endeavors.
