My name is Ahmed Hassan, and I’m a software engineer from Lahore, Pakistan. After completing my Master’s in Computer Science from FAST-NU, I worked for 5 years as a cybersecurity expert at various tech companies in Pakistan. However, my dream was always to work in Silicon Valley and contribute to cutting-edge technology development.
I heard about the EB-2 National Interest Waiver program through Global Consultants. What appealed to me most was that I didn’t need an employer sponsor – I could self-petition. My expertise in cybersecurity and AI was exactly what the US needs.
The team at Global Consultants helped me build a compelling case. We highlighted my research publications, contributions to open-source security projects, and my work on AI-powered threat detection systems. They helped me gather strong recommendation letters from industry leaders and academics.
After 8 months of meticulous preparation and documentation, my petition was approved. I received my green card and moved to San Francisco in January 2023. Today, I’m working as a Senior Security Engineer at a leading tech company, earning $180,000 annually, and I have the freedom to change jobs or start my own company.
The EB-2 NIW was perfect for me because I wasn’t limited to one employer. I had the flexibility to explore opportunities that best matched my career goals. My family also received permanent residency, and my children now have access to excellent educational opportunities.
If you’re a skilled professional in tech, healthcare, engineering, or research, I highly recommend exploring the EB-2 NIW option. Global Consultants made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
