General Field: Computer Science

Case Summary:

With a Ph.D. in Computer Vision and many years of experience working in the field of computer science, our client seemed to be a suitable candidate for EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver). Once we had confirmed that we could build a strong EB-2 NIW case on his behalf, we initiated the contract and got to work. Here are some of the petition’s main arguments:

Impressive Publication Record: When we filed the case, our client’s research had led to 7 publications.
Notable Citation Count: His work had collected an impressive 50 citations, proving that other researchers depend on his findings to progress their work.
Compelling Research: Our client’s work is specifically focused on electrical engineering, computer vision, pattern recognition, and machine learning. He has conducted an array of novel research projects, all of which have yielded results that are beneficial to the United States. For instance, some of his findings contribute to the country’s development of autonomous smart systems.
Strong Support: We encouraged our client to reach out to other experts in his field for recommendation letters. As part of our services, we helped him narrow down the list of potential recommenders and helped him select six who could contribute strong letters. We selected them by affirming that they were familiar with our client’s publications and/or had worked with him. Here is what a couple of our client’s recommenders had to say about him and his work:

“Because he alone can offer this unique collection of skills, [Client] will always find a need for his work in the United States. The futures of many aspects of the economy and pure scientific advancement are dependent upon the work [Client] produces.”

“Leaders in computer vision studies must have an innovative mind and strong computing skills. The researcher must demonstrate an ability to make critical decisions in a correct and timely manner. [Client] has proven all these qualities and more.”

Overall, our client waited 6 months and 20 days for the USCIS to adjudicate his EB-2 NIW petition. North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) recently helped our client and his dependent with their I-485 applications, and we are currently awaiting a favorable response from the USCIS. Till then, we wish our client the best with his continued research in the field of computer science.
