Case Summary:

Hailing from India and armed with a Ph.D. in Information Technology, an assistant professor in information science asked for North America Immigration Law Group’s help in filing his NIW (National interest Waiver) petition. So our team of experts immediately started looking into his academic and professional records in order to personalize his application followed by countersigning the retainer agreement with him. We were able to trace every important detail of his career thus far from the updated CV and other documents that he provided us with.

Some of these documents contained information about his publication records, his citations, and his review experience. Others detailed funding grants that he had received and 2 testimonials that he had obtained at our suggestion from experts in his field.

We were thus able to find that his work supports advancements in data interpretation methodologies that have applications in key fields including cybersecurity, and thus, his work bolsters major industries across the globe.
At the same time, his research has resulted in 23 peer-reviewed journal articles (17 of them first-authored), 19 peer-reviewed conference article (14 of them first-authored), 1 technical report, and 2 book chapters (1 of them first-authored).
These publications have also been cited a total of 145 times according to Google Scholar.
He has also completed at least 30 peer reviews to date and one of his projects has been supported by funding from the National Institute of the General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health. This recognition of his work shows that his work is pertinent to solving medical issues in the United States.

Last but not the least, his recommenders had put a lot of trust in his work, hinging their own research on his, thus making him very reliable in the field. His work on data aggregation and data analytics thus helped improve business operations in the United States. Data analytics is critical for providing information that businesses use to accomplish their goals, including designing business models, identifying revenue streams, and providing high-quality experiences for customers. In this way, his work is integral to business enterprises across the United States, as it forms the foundation for their financial success.

Thus, when the decision arrived in his favor, we were not surprised but happy to have been a part of his immigration journey to the U.S.A. We thank him for his continued trust in our services and for retaining us for his EB1-B and I-485 petitions.
