Client’s Testimonial:

“I truly appreciate all your guidance and support throughout the process.”

On April 8^th, 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Engineer in the Field of Artificial Intelligence (Approval Notice).

General Field: Artificial Intelligence

Case Summary:

With a Ph.D. in engineering and specialized expertise in artificial intelligence, our client from India approached our law firm for assistance with filing an EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. After carefully reviewing his academic background, research portfolio, and professional achievements, we determined that his proposed endeavor held substantial merit and national importance, and we moved forward with filing his I-140 petition under the NIW category.

His research focuses on leveraging artificial intelligence to accelerate the development of sustainable technologies. These efforts support the transition to clean energy, enhance energy storage technologies, and align with national priorities for achieving net-zero emissions and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

To establish his eligibility and strengthen the petition, we presented the following highlights of his professional record:

● 35 peer-reviewed publications, including 24 first-author papers in high-impact journals spanning artificial intelligence, energy, and engineering.

● A citation count of over 1,200 indicates the global research community’s widespread recognition of his work.

● Over 60 peer reviews completed for high-impact journals and leading conferences, showcasing his recognition as a subject-matter expert.

● Participation in program committees of top international AI conferences, where he evaluated and shaped the direction of emerging research.

● Six granted patents, many first-authored, reflecting his innovation in sustainable technologies.

● Research backed by prestigious funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

Our client’s research contributions have significant implications across multiple domains—sustainable system safety and health monitoring, predictive modeling, advanced simulations in engineering, and AI-guided sustainable system design. These innovations are critical to improving system performance and supporting the U.S. clean energy sector.

This confirmed the national relevance and continued importance of his work in advancing U.S. technological competitiveness and energy resilience.

Thanks to the well-documented evidence and a strategically crafted petition, our client’s NIW case was approved in just 10 months and 9 days. This outcome reflects his record’s strength and the national urgency for innovations in clean energy.

We congratulate him on this well-earned success and thank him for trusting our team to represent his case. We look forward to seeing his continued impact in AI-driven energy research and innovation.
