Client’s Testimonial:

“I had an amazing experience working with the Chen Immigration team. I got my EB2-NIW petition and EB1A petition approved. The team was very responsive to all my questions and helped with all my questions within 24 hours. The testimonials/recommendation letters they prepared were also of very professional quality and the personal touches they provide based on individual statement of contributions are praiseworthy. I was very happy with the quality of the petition letter and felt confident that I would get my petition approved. I strongly recommend everyone to use their service for a smooth filing process and personalized care in preparing Green Card petitions.”

On July 10^th, 2023 and August 25^th, 2023, we received another EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) and EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Senior Software Engineer in the Field of Digitization (Approval Notice).

General Field: Digitization

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Senior Software Engineer

Country of Origin: India

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Texas

Approval Notice Date: July 10^th, 2023 (NIW) and August 25^th, 2023 (EB-1A)

Processing Time: 19 days (NIW) (Premium Processing Requested) and 10 days (EB-1A) (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

Our client is an exceptional researcher who aims to continue her work in the field of digitization in the United States. Initially, she approached the North America Immigration Law Group to file her NIW petition, which was successful. As a result, she decided to retain our services for her EB1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition as well. We noted that her 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 she will continue to provide substantial benefits to the United States.

Thus, we agreed to take her case and laid out a customized EB1A petition for her leading to the desired success, and we added the following relevant points in her petition packet:

Our client is one of the few leading experts in her field, and she has achieved a consistent and notable record of success and influence in this area of study. With an M.S. degree, she focused on improving business rules and parameters, creating strategic plans and solutions, and implementing data systems for her clients.
We discovered that her research addresses some of the world’s most pressing issues, including sustainable farming and artificial intelligence integration into society. Therefore, with 22 peer-reviewed scientific articles, she has certainly been a major contributor in the field of digitization for several years now.
Additionally, her work has been cited 162 times by her peers in at least 15 countries, setting her apart from others in her field. Not only is she conducting original and important research, but her work is also regarded as highly significant by the editors of top journals in her field. These highly selective journals have consistently published her research, demonstrating that her work is considered to be among the best in the field. She has conducted at least 5 reviews for highly discerning journals that only enlist the most accomplished researchers to adhere to their strict publishing guidelines.

Indeed, our client’s extraordinary ability in the field is well recognized by other established experts. Thus, we incorporated four recommendation letters acquired by these experts corroborating the relevance of her work on investigating how digital technologies are influencing agricultural labor processes in the field. Many of them have been significantly influenced in their own work by our client’s prior findings.

In today's highly globalized and digitalized world, all businesses need to evolve their processes to smoothly transition into the digital era. Therefore, the business model of our esteemed client, which evaluates the readiness of companies for digitization, is of great significance to improve their profitability and enhance customer satisfaction. This is one of the major reasons that the adjudicating authorities at USCIS approved her case in just 9 days after our client upgraded her EB1A case to premium processing service. Also, we are glad that our client trusted our diligent team and cooperated with us throughout the process. We wholeheartedly congratulate her on accomplishing this milestone!
