Case Summary:

Based on the huge number of successful cases, North America Immigration Law Group has developed the most up-to-date winning strategies for the NIW category, which enable us to offer our “Approval or Refund” services to many of the NIW cases we take. However, there are certain prerequisites to be fulfilled by an individual including:

The foreign national must be in a position to advance the proposed endeavor.
The applicant must present evidence that the U.S. would benefit on balance to waive the job offer criteria for an EB-2.
A proposed endeavor, holding substantial merit and national importance.

Our client, a Software Engineer from China, approached us to file an NIW (National Interest Waiver Petition) on his behalf.

He has completed his M.S. in computer science and as an expert in the field of computer science, his proposed endeavor of developing and enhancing innovative methods, data models, and infrastructure for deep learning algorithms to solve real-world manufacturing industry and e-commerce industry challenges and make the advantages of artificial intelligence (AI) more accessible has both substantial merit and national importance. Therefore, to make a persuasive case in his favor, we included the following details in his petition packet:

His work has resulted in 8 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them first-authored).
His publications have been cited a total of 81 times according to Google Scholar.

Furthermore, his research advancing his proposed endeavor addresses the need for advancements in AI technologies to tackle real-world challenges in the manufacturing and e-commerce industries. As the U.S. is the global leader in AI, the White House underscores the importance of further advancing the nation’s leadership in AI to create more jobs, including in the manufacturing sector, further underscoring the critical influence of our client’s research in this regard. As such, his continued efforts regarding the adoption of AI in the manufacturing and e-commerce industries contribute to the growth of these sectors and further support the U.S.’s global leadership in AI.

On that account, he received his NIW approval in around 2 months with our team’s efforts and the premium processing service. We are pleased to have been a part of his success story and would like to wish him good luck in his upcoming endeavors.
