Case Summary:

A National Interest Waiver (NIW) is a provision granted to individuals whose work is considered to be in the national interest of the United States. Applicants can self-petition for a green card if they can demonstrate their work is in the national interest. To navigate the complexities of this process, our client in the Robotics field sought our team’s expertise to assist with his application.

After agreeing to take on his case, we tailored his petition to highlight his credentials. With a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering, our client is recognized as an expert in his field. His research has led to 14 publications, including 10 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored) and 4 conference abstracts. These works have been featured in at least 7 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals.

In addition, his research has made a notable impact on his peers. With a whopping 332 citations, his publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of robotics. His extensive knowledge and expertise are further validated by the numerous invitations he receives to review the work of his peers, a responsibility he has completed at least 30 times.

His proposed endeavor involves advancing research in developing state-of-the-art robotic and AI systems for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders, advanced automation, and intelligent building maintenance and monitoring. This work helps reduce operational costs and minimize downtime, leading to significant savings. Additionally, his technological advancements improve the lifespan, reliability, and sustainability of aging infrastructure, contributing to the economic stability and resilience of the United States.

Furthermore, his study has received funding from the National Robotics Programme of Singapore; The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and the Canada Research Chairs Program. This funding supports projects that promote the comprehensive development of unique robotics technologies and solutions.

We also included 4 letters of recommendation from respected experts in the field. Below is an excerpt from one of them:

“Considering [Client’s] remarkable skill set in developing robotics and AI tools for neurological disease assessment and diagnosis, the caliber of his research, and his peer review and guest editor contributions for leading journals, it is more than apparent that he is operating at the top of his field. Therefore, it is in our field’s collective interest that [Client] continues to conduct research in the United States.”

Thanks to our team’s commitment and our client’s exceptional potential, USCIS approved his petition in just 58 days. We sincerely appreciate the trust he placed in us throughout this process and wish him continued success in his future endeavors.
