We are pleased to share another success story of an I-140 National Interest Waiver (NIW) approval, this time for a distinguished MS holder.

Field of Expertise: Human Factors and Artificial Intelligence

This client works at the intersection of human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence, with a focus on human-centered health and transportation systems. Their proposed endeavor centers on developing inclusive and assistive technology, explainable automated vehicles, and advanced driver monitoring and intervention systems.

Their research integrates human-machine interaction and artificial intelligence with the goal of improving the accessibility and safety of technology for underserved populations, particularly individuals with disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum. These contributions support enhanced quality of life, broader workforce inclusion, and more equitable access to autonomous transportation technologies.

Academic Record and Research Credentials

At the time of filing, the client had authored 3 peer-reviewed journal articles, 7 conference articles, 5 abstracts, and 1 accepted book chapter. They had been cited 83 times according to Google Scholar, and had conducted at least 29 peer reviews for top academic journals and conferences in the field. Several of their publications rank among the top 10% and 20% most-cited papers in the computer science discipline for their respective years.

Their work spans topics such as:

● Reducing information overload in healthcare through AI-based text summarization.

● Enhancing driver safety and trust in autonomous vehicles.

● Designing assistive technologies tailored to the needs of autistic adults to foster adulthood transition.

Current Employment and Future Goals

The client is currently conducting advanced research at an academic institution, where they are actively working on technologies that promote health, inclusion, and human-AI collaboration. They intend to continue their research in academia and expand their work through a tenure-track faculty position, ensuring the longevity and advancement of their contributions.

Strategy for NIW Approval

The petition emphasized the national importance of the client’s work in several critical and emerging technology areas identified by U.S. policy authorities, including human-machine teaming, robotics, and AI decision-making systems. Through their impactful publication record, peer recognition, independent citations, and strong track record of government research support, the client demonstrated that:

● Their endeavor has substantial merit and national importance.

● They are well-positioned to advance it.

● On balance, waiving the job offer requirement would benefit the United States.

The application clearly articulated how their work addresses urgent national needs, particularly in public safety, healthcare accessibility, and disability inclusion, thereby fulfilling all prongs of the Dhanasar framework.
