Case Summary:

A geography specialist from Bangladesh, holding an M.Sc. in geography, sought assistance from NAILG for his National Interest Waiver (NIW) application to the USCIS. With extensive experience in handling such cases, our team initiated a thorough review of his academic and professional records. This meticulous assessment enabled us to identify valuable details that later became integral to crafting his petition. Some of these key aspects included:

His proposed endeavor is to continue integrating remote sensing and GIS to analyze the environmental impact of deforestation, land use, and land cover changes alongside air quality monitoring to develop data-driven strategies for improving urban planning, pollution management, and sustainable resource use.
Beyond introducing data-driven solutions to address land degradation, his research also advances sustainable urban development and strengthens U.S. food security, bolstering societal and economic prosperity, meeting the prong that establishes substantial merit and national importance.
Moreover, his research has resulted in 4 peer-reviewed journal articles (all of them first-authored), 5 abstracts (4 of them first-authored), and 1 first-authored preprint. These publications have also been cited a total of 26 times, thereby demonstrating impact and recognition within the field of geography.
Furthermore, he has secured 4 recommendation letters from esteemed experts in his field, affirming his ability to advance his proposed endeavor. These endorsements provide deeper insight into his scientific expertise and research contributions. One expert emphasized:

“Coupled with a growing trend towards migration from South America, there is strong evidence that [Client’s] work is timely and highly valuable for preparing the United States for refugees fleeing violence and better incorporating them into the economy and the nation.”

Additionally, his years of research have been supported by funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This funding is reserved solely for research directed at advancing the national interest, including innovations and discoveries that benefit humanity.

As a result, he received his NIW approval in just 1 month and 19 days with our team’s efforts and the premium processing service. We are pleased to have been a part of his success story and would like to wish him good luck in his upcoming endeavors.
