Case Summary:

Our firm had been hired by a holder of a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering to assist in filing an NIW petition on her behalf. In our background check, we discovered she was working on next-generation materials and lithography processes to transform artificial intelligence, blockchain, and quantum computing technologies. We concluded that the client had a strong case to be made and began to draft her personalized petition package with these details:

Our client’s academic record is well-documented, with a publishing record of 12 peer-reviewed journal articles (2 of them first-authored), 13 peer-reviewed conference articles (3 of them first-authored), 1 preprint (first-authored), and 1 granted patent. In addition, her work has also been published in no less than 9 highly-ranked peer-reviewed journals.
Her work has also been highly influential in her given field, with a total of 203 citations at the time of her petition, with a few of her papers being among the most highly cited in their given fields, during their year of publication.
Her research on next-generation materials is also of great importance, as it could have great implications for the development of computer technologies, such as enhanced artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technologies, and quantum computing.
She has also received funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Energy (DOE), DARPA's Defense Sciences Office (DSO), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Sandia National Laboratories. With the support of all these different organizations, the value of her research is apparent.
We found that she had also received 2 different letters of recommendation from various experts, one of whom said:

“Given the significance of [Client]’s research, it is clear that her continued presence in the United States is absolutely essential. Her research advances the field of nanophotonics, highlighting its ongoing importance and benefits to the interests and national security of the United States. I strongly endorse [Client] 's research and believe that it is a valuable contribution to the scientific community and society.”

With the efforts of our dedicated team, we were able to secure approval for her NIW petition. We wish our client continued success in her future endeavors and are grateful for her faith in our firm.
