Case Summary:
The North America Immigration Law Group had been contacted by an influential figure in the field of electrical engineering to assist him in filing a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition on his behalf. We began by looking into his background and found that he had an M.S. in electrical and computer engineering, fulfilling the requirement of having an advanced degree. We also found that our client was working to develop computer recognition algorithms, specialized hardware architectures, and energy-efficient circuits for big data processing to enhance large-scale dataset analysis. We included the following additional details into his his personalized petition package:
- Our client has been active in research, with 1 first-authored peer-reviewed journal article, 5 peer-reviewed conference articles (2 of them first-authored), and 1 filed patent application. His work has also received a total of 13 citations at the time of his petition, with one of his papers being among the most highly cited in their field, within their year of publication.
- The importance of his research is apparent, as his research focuses on the development of computer recognition algorithms and hardware for big data analysis, which is useful for healthcare services across the nation. With 20.6% of medical visits being unnecessary, and with $760 billion to $935 billion’s worth of wasted healthcare spending in 2019, the use of reliable computer recognition algorithms and big data processing greatly reduces healthcare costs, making his work developing reliable computer recognition algorithms and hardware invaluable for improving the nation’s healthcare system, reducing wasted costs, and aiding in patient care and diagnosis.
- Lastly, our client had also previously received support from Applied Materials, showing that it is important enough to have received funding from outside organizations.
Given the information listed above, we were able to construct a compelling case for his petition. We wish our client continued success in his future endeavors and are grateful for his faith in our firm.
