Case Summary:

Aiming to develop easy-to-use 3D authoring tools and visual interfaces, an applied researcher approached our team to help file his NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. We recognized the importance of his work, which contributes to the growing market for 3D tools, benefitting commercial and consumer users. With more than half of global businesses interested in AR/VR applications, his work makes these technologies more accessible, helping organizations improve their operations. Hence, we could prove that his research benefits the United States.

We carefully tailored his NIW petition, showcasing his educational and professional achievements to strengthen his case. We highlighted his compelling education, including a Ph.D in Media Art. We also emphasized that his research has resulted in 1 peer-reviewed journal article (first-authored), 8 peer-reviewed conference articles (6 first-authored), 3 abstracts, 1 preprint, 1 technical report, and 2 patents (both first-authored) with a total of 47 citations. Furthermore, his experience completing 25 peer reviews demonstrates his expertise and recognition as a leading authority in the field.

In addition, we submitted 4 recommendation letters written by respected experts in the field to boost the application. With all his impressive credentials highlighted, these letters serve as strong evidence of his credibility. One recommender stated:

“His research approach has continued to embrace ideas outside the mainstream, leading to novel approaches to using immersive technology to solve business problems applicable to large companies of all sorts. His extensive research experience and practical findings serve as a testament to [Client’s] ability to drive further advancements in immersive technology and interactive experiences. [Client] is an invaluable asset to the ongoing efforts in the United States to maintain its competitive edge in the global technology industry.”

After a thorough evaluation, we concluded that our client’s credentials make him exceptionally well-suited to pursue his intended endeavor. With our team’s excellent case preparation strategy and our client’s impressive qualifications, he secured his NIW approval in 57 days.
