Success Stories: A Mathematical Statistician from Taiwan Secures NIW Approval in Just 4 Months with the Help of Our Comprehensive Petition Packet
Client’s Testimonial:
“Good service! Highly recommended!”
On November 4th, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Mathematical Statistician in the Field of Statistics (Approval Notice).
General Field: Statistics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Mathematical Statistician
Country of Origin: Taiwan
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Maryland
Approval Notice Date: November 4th, 2022
Processing Time: 4 months
Case Summary:
“In 2021, the global big data market was valued at $162.6 billion. These statistics point to the importance of big data analysis in the global economy. However, many current approaches to big spatial datasets are limited by large matrices that require inversion or storage. These matrices slow the computational efficiency of existing methods in spatial statistics. Fortunately, [client], an expert in the field of statistics, has devised computationally efficient, matrix-free methods for analyzing big spatial data contexts. This is paramount to the continued success of the global big data market and the industries it affects across the world.”
The aforementioned excerpt has been extracted from one of the four recommendation letters we provided along with the petition packet to the USCIS to establish that our client’s proposed research is of great importance to the United States since it is aligned with current trends in the field of statistics.
When our client, a holder of a Ph.D. in statistics, hired our law firm, the North America Immigration Law Group, to help him file his National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition, we ran through a complete evaluation of his credentials. While assessing his merits and accomplishments, we learned that his proposed endeavor is to enhance predictive models and analytical tools in order to facilitate the development of advanced technology in the fields of environmental science, sports, public health, and medicine, which is therefore important on a national scale, as evidenced by his prestigious funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Consequently, the support from these organizations proves that his study on big spatial datasets is essential to the well-being of the American public and American industries.
In addition to his expertise and record of success, he is considered a leader in the field of statistics. It is noteworthy to mention that he has served as a session chair for the Joint Statistical Meetings, he has also served as a session co-organizer and co-chair in the Industry Statistics Workshop, and he has performed peer review 46 times on at least dozens of occasions for a variety of publications. These experiences emphasize his exceptional level of expertise in the field of statistics as well as his peers’ trust in his opinions and conclusions.
Moreover, his research has been published in important publication venues in his field, resulting in nine peer-reviewed journal articles (five of them first-authored). Not only has he successfully completed and published the results of his research in the field, but his research has also influenced his peers since these publications have been cited a total of 51 times, thereby affirming that his work is widely recognized and relied upon in the field of statistics.
Based on this exceptionally great background, he now works as a mathematical statistician in the FDA industry. With his vast experience in the field, we are certain that he will continue making groundbreaking scientific discoveries in his chosen field. Thus, we are super glad that we were successful in demonstrating all the evidence to USCIS that our client’s research is beneficial to the United States to waive the requirements of a job offer and labor certification.
Therefore, his petition was approved 3 months and 30 days after we filed his NIW case. We truly thank him for having trust in us, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.
