Case Summary:

In order to facilitate the adoption of proactive mitigation strategies, a financial economics consultant approached the North America Immigration Law Group with a proposal to advance his research on identifying early warning indications of financial crises using cuttingedge econometrics and machine learning approaches. His research, along with those of other researchers, is pertinent to improving economic resilience and worldwide social welfare.

Thus, we deduced that his research is of great importance because it drives efficient regulatory improvements and subsequently enhances social welfare globally, particularly considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This made it easier for us to prove that his study was beneficial to the U.S.

We strategized our response to his I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition in light of this. We proceeded and gathered comprehensive data regarding his educational and career history. This was made possible by our wealth of knowledge in the industry, having assisted over 32,000 individuals in achieving favorable results in their respective cases.

Therefore, we incorporated some of the following things in his customized petition packet:

• We highlighted that he has secured an M.A. in economics and his research has resulted in 5 first-authored peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 peer-reviewed conference abstract, 3 preprints (1 of them first-authored), 2 working paper, 4 policy papers/industry guidelines, 1 technical report, 1 book chapter, and 1 book.
• Not only has he successfully completed and published the results of his research in the field, but his research has also gone on to influence his peers. That is, according to Google Scholar, his papers have been cited 59 times in total, indicating that they are highly respected and acknowledged in the subject of financial economics.
• His knowledge and proficiency in financial stability, financial crises, and financial risk management have earned him an invitation to serve as a peer reviewer for a reputable financial publication. So far, he has completed one review. Thus, he is regarded as extremely competent in the field and an expert in his proposed endeavor given that only the most highly recognized experts in the field are invited to evaluate the work of their peers, especially in prestigious venues.
• His proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States. A resilient nation must have both financial stability and economic growth, and our client’s work has had an essential impact on both in light of current events. His work is an important step in ensuring that Americans have a prosperous future and strengthening the country’s economic resiliency.

Furthermore, he has even acquired two recommendation letters from the leading experts in his field. One of the excerpts from the same is given below:

“[Client’s] findings and tools have been extensively implemented by Bangladesh Bank, and his contributions have benefitted the institution as it continues to operate in the financial sector… The implementation of this guideline gave banks a more standardized approach for evaluating credit as it includes the financial indicators and benchmarks proposed by him… The utilization of [client’s] research has equipped Bangladesh Bank and by extension the financial sector, with the tools necessary to enhance the credit risk assessment, promote transparency and consistency, and improve financial stability.”

Finally, we are glad that USCIS carefully examined his petition packet and approved his NIW (National Interest Waiver) application within 6 days without issuing him any RFEs. We are appreciative of his faith in our process throughout. We hope he has the most excellent life ever and has a wonderful journey in the future.
