Client’s Testimonial:

“It's my pleasure to work with your group. I am satisfied with the service.”

On May 30^th, 2024, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Ph.D. Candidate In the Field of Computer Science (Approval Notice).

General Field: Computer Science

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Ph.D. Candidate

Country of Origin: Vietnam

Approval Notice Date: May 30^th, 2024

Processing Time: 2 days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

A Ph.D. candidate from Vietnam enlisted the help of the North America Immigration Law Group to assist him in filing a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. To qualify for this waiver, the petitioner must demonstrate that:

Their proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance.
They are well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor.
On balance, it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the requirements of a job offer, and thus the labor certification.

Based on our team’s analysis of our client’s background, we found that he endeavors to develop deep learning algorithms that accurately interpret and utilize complex real-world data across diverse domains relying on computer vision to enhance color fidelity in digital media, improve environmental prediction accuracy, and elevate diagnostic precision in healthcare. After completing a background check, we felt that the client had a strong case to be made and created his personalized petition package with the following details:

He has an M.S. in computer science and engineering, proving that he does have an advanced degree.
He also has a strong publishing record, with 3 peer-reviewed journal articles, and 4 peer-reviewed conference articles, 3 of which were first-authored.
His work is also well-respected in the community, having been cited a total of 196 times. In addition, his papers have been published in several high-impact journals with stringent publishing standards.
He has also conducted at least 4 peer reviews, which is a task given to only those in the community deemed qualified to review the work of other experts.
His research is also of national importance as the utilization of models that could interpret medical data to improve the accuracy of diagnoses could improve the patient outcomes within hospitals in the United States, and also allow the United States to maintain its edge as a global technology center.
He has also received letters of recommendation from two different experts, one of whom said:

“{Client} has quickly risen to the forefront of computer science research due to his expertise in applied artificial intelligence and computer vision. This has made him particularly well-suited to addressing the most pressing challenges in Alzheimer's diagnosis, including the need for noninvasive, effective methods of brain imaging analysis. It is therefore clear that {Client} is a leader in the field of computer science and that his research is needed in the United States.”

Given the sum of the evidence provided above, our team was able to successfully present his case and secure his NIW approval, thanks in part to the premium processing service offered by the USCIS. We thank our client for putting his trust in our firm and hope for his continued success.
