Case Summary:
Our firm was hired to assist an operations research scientist in filing a National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition. To qualify for this waiver, the petitioner must demonstrate that their proposed endeavor has both substantial merit and national importance, that they are well-positioned to advance the proposed endeavor, and that, on balance, it would be beneficial to the United States to waive the requirements of a job offer, and thus the labor certification.
Based on our team’s analysis, he endeavors to develop algorithms for optimal dynamic pricing and routing, to improve performance in industrial and systems engineering applications such as supply chain management, last-mile deliveries, operations research, and revenue management. After completing his background check, we felt that the client had a strong case and created his personalized petition package with the following details:
- He has a Ph.D. in operations research, proving he has an advanced degree.
- He also has a strong publishing record, with 1 peer-reviewed journal article, 2 peer-reviewed conference papers, 1 of which was first-authored, 1 co-first-authored preprint, and 2 technical reports, 1 of which was first-authored.
- His work has also been cited a total of 13 times at the time of filing. In addition, his research has been referenced in several influential peer-reviewed papers.
- His research is also of national importance, as his work on the improvement of industrial engineering processes could improve the competitiveness of manufacturing within the United States, and is in line with the goals set by the 2023 convening of the White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience to reinforce key supply chains instrumental to the maintenance of the nation.
- He has also received letters of recommendation from 4 different experts, one of whom said:
“Apart from facilitating electricity distribution network optimization, [Client] also made significant advancements in improving healthcare outcomes and supply chain management. All of this shows that he is doubtlessly capable of continuing his production of valuable research, both driving progress in the field and bringing immense benefits to national and international concerns.”
Given the sum of the evidence provided above, our team was able to successfully present his case and secure his NIW approval, thanks in part to the premium processing service offered by the USCIS. We thank our client for putting his trust in our firm and hope for his continued success.
