Case Summary:

A professional from Bangladesh specializing in financial data science approached North America Immigration Law Group for an evaluation of his profile for a National Interest Waiver (NIW) visa. Leveraging our industry expertise, we conducted a thorough assessment of his credentials and were confident in securing his desired approval.

Our strategy focuses on presenting the most relevant and persuasive evidence in each petition while highlighting our client’s distinctive accomplishments and expertise. To build a strong case, we incorporated the following key details into his petition package:

• Our client holds an US Master’s degree., confirming his qualification as a member of the professions holding an advanced degree.
• His proposed endeavor focuses on developing innovative machine-learning algorithms to enhance financial decision-making and risk management. This work aims to improve the accuracy of financial forecasting, optimize risk assessment processes, and ensure robust regulatory compliance within the banking and finance sector.
• We were certain that the client’s research advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance, as it enhances technologies critical to the global economy. Machine learning is a key subset of AI and a significant economic market, valued at $19.2 billion in 2022 and projected to grow to nearly $226 billion by 2030.
• His work has resulted in six peer-reviewed conference articles, four of which are first-authored. Notably, several of these publications are highly cited in the field of Economics & Business for their respective years of acceptance, reflecting his peers’ recognition of the value of his research.
• His strong contributions, as demonstrated by his citation record, 109 citations from various experts, according to Google Scholar, establish him as a credible expert in the field of financial data science.
• Additionally, our client serves the academic community as a reliable reviewer, having conducted at least 9 reviews to date. This role is typically entrusted to highly knowledgeable researchers, and his frequent invitations to review peer work further highlight his distinguished standing in the field.

We concluded that the existing independent and objective evidence confirms the major significance of his original contributions. This is further reinforced by recommendation letters from other experts in his field, one of whom stated the following:

“To conclude, [client] has advanced the field of financial data science through his capacity to develop and implement sophisticated machine learning models that enhance decision-making processes and improve risk management. His prowess in data processing and analysis techniques, as well as his impressive publication record, situate him as a leader in the field and establish his inherent value to the US.”

Despite preparing a well-emphasized petition packet, he received an RFE (Request for Evidence). In response to the RFE, our legal team demonstrated evidence proving our client’s qualification as either a member of the professions holding an advanced degree or as a person of exceptional ability. With strong evidence in hand, the petition was ultimately approved, highlighting that while each case is unique, our commitment to addressing the specific needs of every client remains steadfast.

In conclusion, this case emphasizes the importance of thorough preparation and careful review when navigating the complexities of the U.S. immigration process. Despite the challenges presented by the USCIS officer, North America Immigration Law Group‘s expertise and dedication led to a successful outcome for the client. Thanks to our efforts, the client received his NIW approval just 88 days after submitting the RFE response with the support of USCIS expedited service. It was a pleasure working with him, and we deeply appreciate his continued trust and support throughout the process. We also thank him for choosing our law firm and allowing us to be part of this remarkable journey. We wish him all the best and look forward to his continued success in future endeavors.
