This case demonstrates our commitment to I-140 clients through strategic, case-by-case analysis and meticulous petition development. The petition achieved approval in 5 months, 14 days.

Building the Foundation

The client holds an M.Sc. (by research) in robotics and artificial intelligence and works as a software developer advancing AI frameworks for healthcare analytics and cybersecurity applications.

Our team’s initial assessment identified several compelling strengths: an exceptional publication portfolio spanning journals, conferences, books, and patents; strong citation metrics demonstrating field influence; and peer review service for prestigious venues. We strategically emphasized how the client’s expertise addresses critical U.S. needs, particularly as 46% of American healthcare institutions struggle with AI adoption while cybersecurity threats continue escalating.

Assembling Expert Validation

“His ability to refine data inputs and apply hybrid modeling strategies strengthened healthcare diagnostics and reinforced the importance of data-driven clinical tools.”

Understanding the importance of independent corroboration, we coordinated 4 expert recommendation letters. One noted how the client’s methodologies had become reference points for predictive healthcare modeling, positioning the work as foundational rather than incremental.

We documented the client’s impressive metrics: 119 citations, 10 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 first-authored), 7 conference papers (4 first-authored), 3 books (2 first-authored), 4 granted patents (3 first-authored), and 6 peer review assignments for authoritative journals. We also highlighted that the client’s research has been supported by funding from the Department of Science and Technology India, demonstrating institutional validation and the broader scientific community’s recognition of the work’s merit.

NIW Approval and Outlook:

This outcome underscores NAILG’s continued success in securing approvals for researchers whose work bridges science, technology, and public benefit. The client’s ongoing research in artificial intelligence, robotics, and cybersecurity continues to drive progress toward AI-enabled healthcare systems and secure digital infrastructures, aligning closely with the United States’ long-term goals of innovation, resilience, and technological leadership.
