Case Summary:

A machine learning research engineer, holding a Ph.D. in computer science and vast experience researching the same field, hired North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) to help her file an I-140 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition. We analyzed our client’s credentials and agreed to lead her to achieve the national interest waiver. Our priority was to highlight her professional laurels to the USCIS by including the following bits of information in her petition dossier:

Publication Record, Citation Count, and Peer-Review:
Our client has an exceptional record of publications. Thus, we detailed the 433 citations gathered from her 15 peer-reviewed journal and conference articles (7 of them first-authored) and 1 preprint she published. She not only superseded in the research but her research has also influenced her peers. Moreover, we noted that she reviewed the work of her peers 22 times, up till the time of filing.

Research Experience:
We expounded on her research focusing on optimizing algorithms and software using data mining and machine learning techniques to improve end-user transactions for digital platforms. Her research work is of great importance because it furthers the field’s understanding of time series data mining.

Recommendation Letters:
To assure that our client is authorized to move towards the next step in her research work, we detailed two of her recommendation letters obtained from her peer-experts in the field. They have confirmed how our client’s history of successful research, as evidenced by her publication and citation records, indicates a demonstrated impact in the field of computer science and that these achievements have well-positioned her to propel the proposed research here in the U.S.

Conclusive Step:
We were successful to put forward our client’s valuable contributions in the field of computer science, benefitting the United States. She received her NIW approval within 8 months after the USCIS thoroughly adjudged her petition. We thank our client for entrusting us to be a part of her success story and wishing her well in her future goals.
