Case Summary:
When a Chinese expert in advanced computing came to our firm for his National Interest Waiver application, we used information collected from his documents to build his petition packet. The packet contained the following information:
- His proposed endeavor is to continue his design, development, and implementation of highly efficient algorithms and hardware codesigns to enhance the capabilities and application of artificial intelligence techniques to real-world computation.
- This work advancing his proposed endeavor is of great importance because it advances the computational capabilities and application of artificial intelligence technologies and algorithms. With his unique abilities in the development of both artificial intelligence algorithms and the appropriate and enhanced hardware for these algorithms, his research supports both the development and use of artificial technologies for the benefit of businesses and global governments.
- His proposed endeavor also has broad implications for the United States where in June of 2021, the Biden Administration announced the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Task Force, a task force given the responsibility of easing access to resources that allow for increased research into the development of artificial intelligence capabilities in the United States,
- Due to this clear national importance, his work has been supported with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory.
- He has also completed at least 15 reviews and his work in the field has resulted in 15 peer-reviewed conference papers (11 of them first-authored), 1 peer-reviewed journal article (first-authored), and 1 preprint article (first-authored).
- These publications have been cited a total of 137 times according to Google Scholar showing the wide reach of his research.
- He also obtained 2 letters of recommendation stating the significance of his work for the United States.
- Finally, we added that since he has pursued research directly related to his proposed endeavor for 4 years, he is qualified to continue his work in the chosen field.
These factors when weighed in his favor won him the approval of the adjudication bench. Thanks to the premium processing upgrade this approval came through in just 8 days of filing. We are proud of having helped him and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
