Case Summary:

Our skilled team at North America Immigration Law Group was contacted by a senior analytics analyst from Nepal who was interested in filing an I-140 petition under the EB-2 category (National Interest Waiver). Given that our client has a Ph.D. in data science and engineering and significant experience making progress in the same field, he qualified for this particular visa category. 6 days following the filing of the case, our client received the approval with our diligent team’s full support. A special thanks to the premium processing upgrade.

The necessary EB-2 petition documents are listed below:

• As our duty to help our client showcase his academic and professional achievements, we documented our client’s exceptional record of citation count (5 peer-reviewed journal articles (all of them first-authored), 2 conference articles (first-authored), 2 abstracts (one of them first-authored), and one preprint (first-authored)), which altogether gathered 45 citations from other scholars from all around the world.
• Additionally, our client demonstrated his accepted experience in the field by reviewing the work of other scholars in the same field one time.
• We evaluated his research work thoroughly and represented to the USCIS that our client aspires to continue his research on developing machine learning algorithms and minimal-code evaluation methods to boost efficiency in data handling and recommendation systems in order to significantly reduce computational costs and improve practical applications in sectors like e-commerce and healthcare.
• We concluded that his research endeavor is of great importance because bolsters the global economy.
• His research has also been supported with funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). This funding support can only be used for studies that further the interests of the country, such as those that promote scientific progress, improve the welfare of the populace, or protect national security. Because our client’s proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance, he satisfied this prong.

In this way, we were able to prove that our client’s research revolutionizes healthcare practices and catalyzes economic growth by making AI technologies more accessible and cost-effective for both healthcare organizations and businesses. The evidence submitted also included recommendation letters from unbiased, independent experts which our attorneys helped draft along with evidence of our client’s publications, memberships in organizations that require achievement as judged by recognized national or international experts, discussion of his work by others, and his judging the work of others as a peer reviewer for international journals. After considering the evidence, USCIS approved the NIW petition. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
