Case Summary:

North America Immigration Law Group was contacted by an assistant professor to assist her in filing an EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition on her behalf. Armed with a Ph.D. in a field within humanities and researching in the same field, our client’s research has significant and multifaceted benefits to the United States and we were certain that she deserved to secure the national interest waiver. As soon as she mailed us her documents, we started evaluating her credentials. After a thorough review, we submitted her case to the USCIS for further adjudication. Successfully, she got her NIW petition approval within 8 months with the help of our team’s organized and influential petition packet consisting of the below-mentioned information:

We detailed her research on developing theoretical models in her field in order to facilitate the enhancement of human language technologies. We understood the need for her research to continue in the United States as it advances scientific knowledge, supports economic growth, and improves the quality of life.

Also, we added the 92 citations accumulated from the 5 single-authored peer-reviewed journal articles, 3 single-authored peer-reviewed conference articles, and 2 single-authored book chapters she published. These papers have been published in highly acclaimed journals, considering her peers’ recognition of the value of this research. Our client has published in no fewer than 2 highly ranked peer-reviewed journals. Not only did she publish papers and gain an impressive citation count but also because of her knowledge and expertise in the field, she has been regularly invited to conduct peer review for elite journals in the field, and completed 14 peer reviews to date.

Additionally, we supplemented four recommendation letters in our presentation that our client obtained from fellow expert researchers in the field, confirming that her contributions benefit international relations by supporting translation and language processing technology.

After all, our hard work bore fruitful results and we had the pleasure of assisting our client throughout her NIW case. We would like to thank her for choosing us and congratulate her on this milestone.
