Success Stories: Mathematics Assistant Professor Earns NIW Approval for Research Driving Secure Communications
Client’s Testimonial:
“Thank you so much.”
In February 2025, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) approval for an Assistant Professor in the Field of Mathematics (Approval Notice).
General Field: Mathematics
Position at the Time of Case Filing: Assistant Professor
Country of Origin: Iran
Processing Time: 1 year, 3 months, 16 days
Case Summary:
Quantum computing is rapidly emerging as a transformative technology, with applications ranging from secure communications to advanced encryption methods critical for national defense. Yet, these advances rely on mathematical breakthroughs that strengthen the foundations of quantum mechanics and guide the design of powerful algorithms. Recognizing this national need, North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) successfully secured an EB-2 NIW approval for a mathematics researcher whose work addresses exactly this challenge.
This expert’s contributions enable enhanced computational speed and efficiency—improvements that can dramatically accelerate innovation in science, engineering, and technology. His work not only advances mathematics but also paves the way for practical applications in quantum computing with direct implications for national security.
His scholarly record demonstrates both depth and leadership:
- 11 peer-reviewed journal articles.
- 44 citations of his work.
- At least 6 peer reviews for academic journals.
The significance of these contributions has been recognized by peers in the field:
“[Client] is an irreplaceable asset in the discipline of mathematics. His meticulous work marks him as a scholar of the highest order. He has irrevocably enriched the intellectual landscape through groundbreaking research that has introduced transformative concepts and methodologies. [Client] is exceptionally well-positioned to continue pioneering advancements that push academic boundaries and hold vital importance for critical technologies and national interests.”
By carefully presenting both the foundational significance of his research and its national security implications, NAILG built a compelling case that demonstrated how his expertise in mathematics directly supports U.S. leadership in quantum computing and secure communications. This strategic framing made clear to USCIS that his work not only advances mathematics but also addresses urgent federal priorities, leading to the approval of his NIW petition and affirming his role in shaping technologies critical to America’s future resilience and competitiveness.
