Case Summary:
A senior machine learning scientist contacted our law firm to help her establish her significant contributions to the U.S. by filing for an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition. We presented her exceptional professional background and unparalleled experience important to her current and future work at the USCIS.
Upon reviewing her credentials, we found that our client has a Ph.D. and has accomplished a great publication record in her field. Her research resulted in:
- 17 peer-reviewed journal and conference articles and these papers have been published in some of the most discerning, high-impact journals in the field.
- She has conducted at least 50 reviews for journals to date and her work has been cited by other scholars in numerous published articles as well.
- According to Google Scholar, her work has been cited 631 times in at least 44 countries.
- Her study has received funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), this funding serves as clear evidence of the merit of her work in enabling the efficient delivery of medical evidence from the research literature to point-of-care.
- The limitations of the electronic health record and
- Improving public health surveillance
Her case was further supported by including four recommendation letters that she obtained from fellow experts in the field. One of the recommenders stated:
“In summary, it is clear that there are few researchers who are comparable to [client], given her proven productivity and the extraordinary quality of the work she performs. Her leadership in the field has been amply evidenced through novel project outcomes that have advanced the medical community’s utilization of effective data-driven approaches to patient care. She must receive permission to continue her ongoing research within the United States.”
Our team’s efforts successfully paid off in conveying to the USCIS that our client’s impressive background, strong record of past achievements, recognition of expertise by journals seeking her services to review manuscripts, and unique knowledge relevant to her current and future work indicate not only that she qualifies as an alien of extraordinary ability but also that her entry will substantially benefit prospectively the United States.
We would like to congratulate her on securing EB1A approval in 11 months, and 11 days without any RFE issuance. She has even filed her I-140 NIW application with us. We wish her to receive her green card as soon as possible.
