Client’s Testimonial:

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the attorneys and staff at Chen Immigration. This would not have been possible without the guidance, expertise, and dedication of such an outstanding team. Thank you again for all your support throughout this process!”

On March 13^th, 2025, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Research Associate in the Field of Computer Science (Approval Notice).

General Field: Computer Science

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Associate

Country of Origin: Republic of Korea

State of Residence at the time of filing: Illinois

Approval Notice Date: March 13^th, 2025

Processing Time: 18 days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

We are pleased to share the success story of a computer vision researcher from the Republic of Korea whose groundbreaking work is driving innovation in 3D pose estimation, neural network modeling, and scene reconstruction. He has got his EB-1A approval with us. At the time of filing, the client was engaged in high-level research as a Research Associate at a prominent U.S. institution, where he continued advancing machine learning techniques for dynamic 3D vision systems.

NAILG identified the client as an outstanding candidate under the EB-1A category due to his extensive record of contributions, global recognition, and sustained impact across the computer science field.

Pioneering Contributions in Deep Learning and Computer Vision

The client’s work centers on enhancing deep learning methodologies for 3D computer vision, neural network modeling, and dynamic scene reconstruction. His innovations span:

Designing novel architectures that integrate 2D and 3D data
Developing regularization methods that improve neural network robustness
Advancing techniques for accurate dynamic 3D reconstruction using temporal and shape information

These breakthroughs improve the accuracy, efficiency, and applicability of AI systems in robotics, augmented reality, and motion analysis.

Research Impact and Global Recognition

In support of the petition, NAILG documented:

14 peer-reviewed publications in top-ranked journals and conferences (including IEEE Transactions on Image Processing and CVPR)
914 citations, with at least 6 publications ranking in the top percentile for citation impact in computer science
28 verified peer reviews for premier venues, demonstrating trusted expertise in evaluating frontier research

The client’s work has been cited by researchers from more than 60 countries and has directly influenced advancements in object localization, motion prediction, and dynamic 3D rendering. Independent experts confirmed that the client’s research has served as a foundation for subsequent breakthroughs in academic and applied settings.

Here is a compelling excerpt from one of the recommendation letters that highlights the significance of the client’s contributions:

“[Client] developed a Non-Rigid Structure from Motion algorithm for 3D shape reconstruction and a Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) framework for realistic 3D rendering. These technically impressive contributions have broad applications in AI, augmented reality, and robotics.”

Well Positioned to Advance the Proposed Endeavor

In our legal strategy, we emphasized that the client has demonstrated extraordinary ability through original contributions of major significance, high-impact authorship, and participation as a judge of others’ work. These qualifications position the client to continue delivering cutting-edge innovations that advance the United States’ leadership in AI and computer vision.

We further highlighted the client’s current role at a top-tier U.S. institution and their proven ability to produce research that enables progress in nationally critical sectors such as autonomous systems, image processing, and digital modeling.

Approval and Outcome

This EB1A petition was filed with the premium processing and received approval in just 18 days. The petition established that the client had achieved national and international acclaim and had risen to the top of the field.

We are honored to have represented this exceptional researcher and are proud to have secured his EB-1A approval. NAILG looks forward to his continued contributions to the future of computer science and artificial intelligence.
