Case Summary:
The North America Immigration Law Group was approached by an Indian technologies engineer who sought to apply for a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. After completing an assessment of the client’s background, we determined that she would have a high probability of securing approval. Our team drafted a petition tailored to her background and accomplishments featuring these details:
- Our client’s academic credentials are considerable, with a Ph.D. in mathematics, as well as a respectable publication record of 6 peer-reviewed conference papers, 2 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 preprint, 1 patent, and 2 provisional patents.
- Our client’s work has also been influential, with her work receiving a total of 325 citations at the time of filing, and at least 6 of her papers have been among the most highly cited within their year and field of publication.
- Furthermore, our client has also been asked to participate in the review process, having previously done 6 reviews of her fellow experts’ work.
- Our client’s work is also of national importance and has great implications for improving the security of the American people, as she is developing privacy-preserving technologies to compute data without compromising privacy. In a world with the increasing digitalization of information leading to a massive accumulation of data, which, if mishandled, could have severe consequences. Thus, privacy protection is critical for sustaining customer trust and confidence in online transactions. Customers may be hesitant to engage in online activities owing to worries of identity theft or illegal access to their personal information, and privacy breaches frequently result in major financial losses for firms.
- Her research has also been supported by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Air Force, showing that this work is important enough to receive governmental support.
- She has also received letters of recommendation from 2 fellow experts.
