Case Summary:

“[The client’s] research in advanced computing is central to the national interests of the United States. Forest fires have become more frequent in recent years due to climate change and extreme meteorological conditions like high temperatures and extended drought. Fortunately, the research conducted by [the client] in advanced computing has practical applications in this area. [The client’s] research on spectral image unmixing offers direction for connected catastrophe relief operations that minimize the damage from such disasters. The value of [the client’s] current work is a powerful indicator of his contributions to the interests of the United States as we advance. To disturb his work in this country would be detrimental to advanced computing on a national scale.”

As is evident from the above statement, the client was a very talented advanced computing expert from China, who had made headway in the field of computing leading several detrimental advancements in healthcare, climate change, etc. So when he came to NAILG for his National Interest Waiver application, we made sure to write his petition in such a way that it showcased his talents to the best effect. Some of the information which we collected in this process are:

• As an expert in the field of advanced computing, his proposed endeavor is to continue his research on employing time-frequency signal processing techniques to extract the most accurate signals required for advanced computing in order to improve the discrimination of spectral properties that optimize hearing aid technology and benefit the hearing impaired.
• His research advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because advanced computing represents the future of the global tech industry. His proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States, where success in advanced computing is a national priority.
• His research has resulted in 12 peer-reviewed journal articles (three of them first-authored), 10 conference papers (six of them first-authored), and 1 Chinese patent.
• Along with this, his publications have been cited a total of 48 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of advanced computing.
• Furthermore, his study has received funding from the National Natural Science Fund of China (NSFC).

These factors along with the fact that he has pursued research directly related to his proposed endeavor for 10 years, helped his case a great deal winning him the approval in just 1 month and 11 days. The quick adjudication was also in part due to the premium processing upgrade for which our client opted. We are glad to have been of assistance to him during this process. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
