Case Summary:
Our client’s immigration journey with the North America Immigration Law Group (NAILG) began with the successful approval of his National Interest Waiver (NIW) petition, an achievement built on his groundbreaking work at the intersection of cybersecurity, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Recognizing his extraordinary level of impact and sustained contributions to national priorities like smart city infrastructure and data protection, NAILG continued to work alongside him to pursue the next milestone: an EB1A petition.
As a recognized authority in computer security, our client has developed pioneering solutions that combine fog computing, AI, and quantum neural networks to solve real-world threats in cybersecurity and intelligent systems. His work includes a novel framework for real-time traffic management using fog-computing-based AI, innovative strategies for reducing false positives in cyberattack detection, and performance-boosting applications of quantum neural networks in deep learning models.
His academic output reflects the breadth and relevance of his contributions:
● 33 peer-reviewed journal articles (6 first-authored), 7 peer-reviewed conference papers (2 first-authored), 3 preprints and 1 book chapter
● 557 citations, with his cybersecurity work placing him in the top 1% of authors in the field
● And 29 peer reviews completed for leading journals and conferences.
A strong letter of recommendation in support of his EB1A petition noted:
“[Client] strengthens urban traffic management through his work in fog computing and artificial intelligence. His extensive research, multidisciplinary approach, and findings on traffic optimization using integrated sensor networks and multiple optimization algorithms serve as a testament to his ability to drive further progress in smart city development and efficient urban mobility. This marks him as an invaluable asset in the field and its applications in modern urban infrastructure.”
With no Request for Evidence (RFE) issued at any stage, our client’s EB1A petition was approved smoothly, thanks to a carefully structured presentation by NAILG that emphasized his global impact, original contributions, and clear value to U.S. national interests. Having now secured both NIW and EB1A approvals with NAILG’s support, he is fully positioned to continue advancing cybersecurity innovation and intelligent infrastructure in the United States.
