Client’s Testimonial:
“This is great news! Thank you very much for your tremendous support and guidance throughout my I-140 NIW application.”
On January 26th, 2026, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Ph.D. Candidate in the Field of Computer Science (Approval Notice).
General Field: Computer Science
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Ph.D. Candidate
Country of Origin: Vietnam
Country of Residence at the Time of Filing: Singapore
Approval Notice Date: January 26th, 2026
Processing Time: 7 months, 13 days (Premium Processing Upgrade Requested)
Case Summary:
Some NIW cases are won by showing that the work is not only technically strong, but also clearly connected to U.S. scale needs in security and digital trust. In this case, the goal was to present the client’s research in plain terms, then support it with objective indicators that show real-world relevance and a credible ability to keep advancing the endeavor in the United States.
The client is an expert in computer science with an M.S. in artificial intelligence. The proposed endeavor is to continue developing and optimizing AI-empowered systems for voice-based biometric and anti-spoofing applications to enhance the effectiveness of surveillance, security, and personalization. Strategically, we framed this work around the growing risk posed by spoofing and synthetic speech, and the need for reliable voice authentication and deepfake detection systems that can be deployed at scale.
To align the record with NIW standards, North America Immigration Law Group (Chen Immigration Law Associates) organized the evidence around three credibility anchors:
- A track record of peer-validated output: 9 peer-reviewed conference articles (including 4 first-authored) and 1 preprint. Because computer science often relies heavily on selective peer-reviewed conferences as primary publication venues, we made sure the petition explained how this publication pathway reflects rigorous screening and meaningful scholarly contribution in the field.
- Independent reliance and institutional support: 56 citations and major research support from Temasek Laboratories of Singapore and the National Research Foundation. We did not treat citations as self-proving. Instead, we framed them as evidence of independent uptake, meaning other researchers are using the client’s methods and results as inputs for their own work. The record also documented that multiple publications reached notably strong citation performance for their publication years, strengthening the argument that the impact is above routine visibility.
The petition also addressed positioning to continue the endeavor. While NIW focuses on the endeavor rather than any single job, the filing included a plan for the client to continue this work in an applied scientist-style role in industry, advancing real-time speech deepfake detection and voice authentication research, and disseminating results through continued peer-reviewed publication.
USCIS approved the NIW petition without any RFE issues. The outcome reflects a case presentation that connected a technically specialized research program to U.S. national-scale needs in security and fraud prevention, and supported the client’s positioning with a publication record aligned with computer science norms, measurable independent citation reliance, and credible external funding support.
