Case Summary:

With an M.S. in computer science and applications, our client, a research associate from Nepal displayed all the skills to advance his research in the artificial intelligence field. When he engaged North America Immigration Law Group to support him in building an NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, we began evaluating his strong academic background and research brief on developing novel algorithms and methodologies in artificial intelligence in order to enhance their performance in various domains, including intelligent transportation and healthcare informatics.

We concluded that his research is of great importance because it works towards enhancing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to support decision-making processes in the fields of healthcare, urban planning, and business. Thus, we agreed to take his case ahead and discussed his extraordinary influence in the field more specifically below:

  • We highlighted that our client’s published work i.e. the 37 peer-reviewed conference articles (10 of them first-authored), 6 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored), 5 book chapters (1 of them first-authored), and 2 technical reports (both first-authored) has earned a total of 641 citations by several other researchers in the field.
  • In addition to publishing his work, our client has also regularly completed peer review services. It is well known that scholarly journals rely on peer review services from esteemed researchers to uphold the integrity and quality of their publications. He has completed 100 peer reviews to date. He has been entrusted by these scholarly journals to adjudicate the acceptance of manuscripts for publication. Such an honor indicates the high esteem in which his colleagues hold him.
  • Furthermore, he has received funding support from the National Science Foundation. This funding is reserved solely for research directed at advancing the national interest, including studies that promote the progress of science and advance national prosperity and welfare. His proposed research is therefore also nationally important.
With over 40,000 approved cases, our law firm possesses extensive firsthand knowledge regarding the adjudication processes of USCIS. We meticulously examine the data related to all our cases and utilize the insights gained from this analysis to provide our clients with timely advice and effective strategies, ensuring we remain aligned with the continually evolving landscape of immigration law in the United States. Notably, USCIS was persuaded by this client’s thorough research, which contributed significantly to his broader initiative aimed at advancing algorithms and methodologies in artificial intelligence, thereby improving performance in various fields, such as intelligent transportation and healthcare informatics. As a result, USCIS adjudicated our client’s case within five days, ultimately approving his NIW petition. We express our gratitude to him for entrusting us with the preparation of his I-140 petition and extend our heartfelt congratulations on this significant achievement.
