Case Summary:

In this case, the client that we had the opportunity to work with was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from China in the field of Computer Science. Her specialized research has focused on social network analysis, specifically developing automatic tools in order to help address the algorithmic and computational issues involved in the study of social networks. Her work had resulted in 3 peer-reviewed journal articles, 1 book chapter, and at least 10 publications and presentations at top national and international conferences; at the time that her case was filed, her publications had been cited at least 125 times by independent and leading researchers from prestigious institutions and organizations around the world, indicating the major significance of her work.  She had also reviewed 70 manuscripts for distinctive, internationally-circulated journals.  Her superior level of expertise was confirmed in the following quote from an independent recommender, “[Client]’s career achievements communicate an intrinsic flair for social media and graph data analysis. For specialists like me who are devoted to related research, the work performed by [client] in these areas as well as big data analysis is evidence of her deep foundational knowledge. I am confident that she will continue to make valuable contributions to the national interest, and I strongly endorse granting her petition for permanent residence.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that she sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of Computer Science, and that her continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, her case was approved in 5 months and 2 days.
