Case Summary:

We are pleased to share the success story of a computer security expert whose I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition was approved after 17 months and 25 days. This case highlights how advancements in IT security, particularly through the integration of machine learning, contribute directly to safeguarding critical infrastructure in the United States.

Our client holds a D.Eng. in computer science and engineering and is currently employed in a role related to software security. His proposed endeavor centers on employing machine learning techniques to build advanced security analysis tools that enhance the security and privacy of connected vehicles and software systems. These tools offer real-time threat detection, improved anomaly recognition, and greater protection of user data across increasingly complex digital ecosystems.

Filed under the EB-2 NIW category, the petition featured:

● 7 peer-reviewed conference papers (4 first-authored),

● 261 citations according to Google Scholar,

● At least 2 completed peer reviews.

The petition emphasized how his work addresses urgent national priorities, particularly in mitigating threats associated with connected vehicle networks and privacy-vulnerable applications. His research has shown that deep learning and encryption-based solutions can enable secure behavior analysis in connected systems and enhance developer tools for identifying code vulnerabilities at the early stages of software development.

We also highlighted that the client’s work is aligned with critical and emerging technologies recognized by the U.S. National Science and Technology Council, including data processing, network security, and artificial intelligence. His plans for continued research at major technology centers further validated his ability to advance these national goals.

With a well-documented petition demonstrating the national importance and technical sophistication of his contributions, NAILG successfully obtained approval for this promising IT-security researcher. We are proud to have supported his journey and look forward to his continued contributions toward enhancing digital security infrastructure in the United States.
