Case Summary:  

We are pleased to share the success story of an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval granted to a Ph.D. candidate from Singapore, specializing in psychology. At the time of filing, the client was engaged in advanced academic research and had already produced impactful work in understanding the cognitive and social factors shaping human interactions with technology. After a thorough evaluation of the client’s record of publications, citations, and contributions, North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) filed the NIW petition, which was approved in just 1 month and 16 days through premium processing.

Proposed Endeavor: Advancing Human-Centered Approaches to Digital Technology

The client’s proposed endeavor focuses on investigating the cognitive and social factors that influence individual attitudes, technology adoption, and the misuse of digital systems. Her work leverages psychological frameworks and interdisciplinary research to create evidence-based strategies addressing societal challenges in digital environments. This includes designing interventions to strengthen cybersecurity through an understanding of hacker motivations, enhancing inclusivity in healthcare by reducing stigma in telehealth interactions, and using immersive technologies to combat bias and promote empathy. Her work aligns directly with U.S. priorities such as the National Cybersecurity Strategy and the CDC’s Health Equity Guiding Principles, underscoring its substantial merit and national importance.

Notable Achievements Supporting the Petition

To support her NIW petition, NAILG emphasized the following accomplishments that highlight her qualifications and significance:

  • Publication Record: Authored 3 peer-reviewed journal articles in highly ranked psychology and interdisciplinary journals.
  • Citation Impact: Her work has been cited 836 times, with two articles ranking in the top 0.1% most-cited publications.
  • Influence in the Field: Her research frameworks have been widely adopted, with independent studies in healthcare, cybersecurity, and human-computer interaction directly building on her findings.

These achievements reflect both the originality and the significant influence of her contributions in psychology, particularly in areas with pressing societal and technological implications.

NIW Approval and Outlook

The fast approval reflects her outstanding record of accomplishment and the strong case presented by NAILG. We are confident that her continued work will play a vital role in strengthening U.S. capabilities in cybersecurity, inclusive digital health, and technology-driven social systems. NAILG is proud to have supported her journey, and we look forward to her lasting contributions to both her field and the broader U.S. national interest.
