Success Stories: Thanks to Our Team’s Efforts, an Egyptian Silicon Architect in the Field of Advanced Computing Gets NIW Approval in Only 3 Days
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you so much for everything. It has been my pleasure working with you. You are truly and genuinely very professional and very good at what you do. You made this process much easier for me. I have friends who are applying for NIW through the law firm Google works with but their process and progress is much slower and difficult than working with you. I left a 5-star review on both your firm's website and Google Maps.”
On September 21st, 2023, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Silicon Architect In the Field of Advanced Computing (Approval Notice).
General Field: Advanced Computing
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Silicon Architect
Country of Origin: Egypt
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California
Approval Notice Date: September 21st, 2023
Processing Time: 3 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
An esteemed researcher in the field of advanced computing had approached the North America Immigration Law Group seeking assistance in filing a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition on his behalf. Our experienced team analyzed his background, found his many scientific contributions, and agreed to take his case as his experience in a valued field made him desirable in the eyes of the USCIS. The personalized petition package drafted by our team contained these details:
To demonstrate his academic qualifications, he has a Ph.D. in computer engineering, proving he has an advanced degree. In addition, he also has several publications, with 1 peer-reviewed journal article, 3 peer-reviewed conference papers (all of them first-authored), and 1 patent application. His work has also received a total of 62 citations at the time of filing, with one of his papers also being among the most cited within their field and year of publication.
His proposed endeavor is also of national importance, as the U.S. is a global leader in supercomputing power, controlling 150 of the 500 highest-performing supercomputers, including the most powerful supercomputer in the world, these supercomputers are essential to a variety of tasks, like modern science, natural security, and industrial R&D. The federal government thus has a vested interest in maintaining national leadership in supercomputing technology. Our client’s research provides supercomputers with novel memory capabilities that correct for errors and facilitate rapid programmatic adjustments, enhancing the reliability, efficiency, and speed of American supercomputers. By implementing his designs, the U.S. elevates its computational powers and opens the door to groundbreaking supercomputer-facilitated discoveries throughout biological, chemical, meteorological, and aerospace research, keeping the United States competitive not only in advanced computing but in all the industries that depend on it. To lend further credence, his research was supported with funding from the National Science Foundation.
He has also received letters of recommendation from 4 different experts, 1 of whom said:
“The significance of [Client]’s research is not difficult to appreciate, given that inefficiency in checkpointing is a major barrier to improved performance in supercomputing. Studies conducted by Sandia National Laboratories have found that future computers are likely to experience a failure every 35 to 39 minutes, while checkpointing is expected to account for over half of the total runtime of supercomputers. To support the expanded application of supercomputers in areas including medical technology and clean energy, addressing the problem of checkpointing is a key focus for advanced computing researchers. [Client]’s research holds clear importance for improving supercomputer performance and ensuring their utility across a range of industry and academic endeavors.”
With the information above, our team managed to gain approval for his petition in merely 3 days, aided by the support of the USCIS’s premium processing service. We are thankful for our client’s faith in our firm and we hope for his continued success.
