Case Summary:

A Turkish expert in computational psychiatry with a Ph.D. in biotechnology approached NAILG for her National Interest Waiver application to the USCIS. With a well-established approach to handling such cases, our team began reviewing her academic and professional documents. This allowed us to discover valuable details about her which were later used in writing her petition. Some of these details were:

Her proposed endeavor is to develop computational models, non-invasive techniques, and machine learning approaches to identify the neural mechanisms behind psychosocial disabilities and mental disorders for enhanced diagnostic precision, therapeutic interventions, and better outcomes for individuals with psychotic disorders.
Her research on psychosocial disabilities is highly significant and has far-reaching implications for the United States. It enables more of these individuals to receive medical care tailored to their specific symptoms. Her work is also significant for individuals with other mental health conditions, as it bolsters their diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic development as well.
Moreover, she has completed at least 4 reviews to date and her research has resulted in 6 peer-reviewed journal articles (3 of them first-authored), 1 conference article (first-authored), 1 preprint (first-authored), and 3 book chapters (2 of them first-authored).
These publications have also been cited a total of 163 times according to Google Scholar, thereby demonstrating that these publications are widely recognized and relied upon in the field of computational psychiatry.
She has also received 2 recommendation letters from fellow experts, providing further insight into our client’s scientific skill set and research endeavors.
Additionally, her several years of work in the area have been supported by various funds such as the Human Brain Project, the French National Center for Scientific Research, the Horizon 2020, and the French National Research Agency (ANR). This funding supports projects that facilitate technological progress, with a specific focus on the treatment of brain diseases.

These factors played a crucial role in the success of her case, leading to her NIW approval in just 2 months and 2 days, also thanks to the premium processing service. Our team congratulates her once again and wishes her continued success in all her future endeavors.
