Success Stories: Expert Team from NAILG Helped an AI Scientist from China working in Computer Science SecureNIW Approval without an RFE

Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you so much for your help!”

On March 3^rd, 2022, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an AI Scientist in the Field of Computer Science (Approval Notice).

General Field: Computer Science

Position at the Time of Case Filing: AI Scientist

Country of Origin: China

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: California

Approval Notice Date: March 3^rd, 2022

Processing Time: 12 months, 27 days

Case Summary:

As an expert in the field of computer science, our Chinese client’s proposed endeavor was to continue developing machine learning and deep learning algorithms to improve real-time computer modeling for social and environmental artificial intelligence applications. This is why, when he wanted us to file his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition, we helped him in the best way possible. This was done by putting together an impressive application after the initial screening of his credentials which yielded the following information:

His work advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because it harnesses deep learning and artificial intelligence to support wildlife protection methods.
His work in the field has resulted in 10 peer-reviewed conference papers (1 of them first-authored) and 2 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 first-authored and 1 In Press).
These publications have been cited a total of 64 times according to Google Scholar.
He had received major funding support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Missouri Department of Conservation.
He had also been invited to conduct peer reviews for well-known journals in the field some 10 times already.
Finally, we used letters of recommendation from experts in his field to substantiate his claim to national importance. One such statement was made by an independent scholar who knew him only via his work:

“[Client’s] work on deep learning for U.S. conservation protection has provided a faster and more accurate means of classifying different types of fish and birds, thus improving the efficiency of conservation management. As [the client] is strongly contributing to wildlife classification and conservation efforts through his computer science research, it is imperative that his highly meritorious work continue.”

Since the NIW category requires clear proof of how a petitioner’s work is serving the national interest, we were certain that this was made sufficiently clear for our client in his petition to USCIS. So, when we received the approval, we were overjoyed to inform our client and our team. We congratulate our client and wish him every success in life.
