Success Stories: NIW Approval Secured In 6 Days For Chinese Senior Analyst Working in the Field of Mathematical Modeling
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you for the notice! I can’t believe it got approved so quickly!”
On September 28th, 2023, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for a Senior Analyst in the Field of Mathematical Modeling (Approval Notice).
General Field: Mathematical Modeling
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Analyst
Country of Origin: China
State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas
Approval Notice Date: September 28th, 2023
Processing Time: 6 days (Premium Processing Requested)
Case Summary:
The North America Immigration Law Group has a long track record of representing foreign nationals who wish to apply for a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. In this case, our firm had been contacted by a senior analyst at a large corporation to assist him in securing an NIW visa to secure permanent residency in the United States. Our team first began by performing a background check to see if he possessed the right qualifications to meet the criteria.
Our investigation found that our client has a Ph.D. in physics, and intends to use his knowledge of mathematical modeling to analyze market data and develop models that allow financial institutions to mitigate their exposure to various risks to promote economic growth and prevent financial crises. This is important as it would increase the resilience of the American economy, reducing the likelihood of financial disasters like the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis occurring again. The results of this research could also create a useful tool that would allow regulators to do their jobs more effectively. Not only would his research be of benefit to the U.S. economy, but it could also have applications in machine learning, and data science, which are fields recognized by the USCIS as emerging and critical technologies. This piece of information would benefit our client’s petition and make him a more attractive candidate for approval.
With its clear national importance, our client’s research has been supported with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Army Research Office (ARO), and the United States Department of Energy (DOE). To have the support of 3 different organizations within the U.S. government is a sign that he is trusted and that his work is of undeniable merit.
Our client has also published 5 peer-reviewed journal articles (1 of them co-first-authored) and 2 pre-prints (1 of them first-authored), with his work appearing in no less than 3 highly rated journals. His academic credentials are also bolstered by the fact that his papers have been cited 210 times at the time of the petition, indicating that his research has been widely relied upon by other researchers.
To lend further credibility, our client has also been recommended by 2 other experts, with one saying:
“[Client] is an exceptional researcher in the field of mathematical modeling who is making strides discovering solutions to complex problems in the field. [Client] possesses a wealth of experience in the field, boasting a varied skillset encompassing computer simulation, machine learning, and statistical methods. His expertise and distinctive skillset distinguish him as a leading researcher pioneering advancements in mathematical and physical modeling, as well as machine learning.”
We are glad to say that our client was successful in his application and that he received NIW approval in just 6 days. This is thanks in part to the premium processing service offered by the USCIS. This success is another won case that our firm can add to our list of over 32,000 successful applications. We are grateful for the trust our client has placed in our firm and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
