Case Summary:
Our client, a research assistant from China who specializes in the field of computer science focusing on intelligent transportation systems and smart health technology, hired our firm to present a convincing EB-1A case to the USCIS. His research addresses some of our nation’s most pressing issues: his development of a smart driving analytics system that incorporates audio and visual data in order to improve the accuracy of driving monitors.
By submitting evidence of the research success - 13 peer-reviewed scientific articles and his experience of judging the work of his peers for 40 times, we established the fact that our client is an extraordinary researcher who deserves to remain in the United States to conduct his impactful research. We also detailed the 176 times his work was cited by other leading and influential researchers around the world. Since EB-1A is one of the toughest I-140 categories, we made sure that we thoroughly presented our client’s achievements in a clear and concise manner.
The customized EB-1A petition packet which we arranged for our client contained an array of information that highlighted his research achievements. We also included several recommendation letters contributed by other well-known figures in the field. One of the recommenders stated that: “Providing urban planners and transit operators with better tools to improve local and national public transportation systems results in major benefits for the economic, environmental, and civic interests of the United States. [Client’s] work does exactly that and thus deserves this country’s full support.”
In addition to carefully assembling the required documents to file the EB-1A petition on behalf of our client, our team has included customized citation map and charts for visualization to indicate countries whose institutions have cited our client’s work. The visual presentation of the data has indeed further demonstrated and supported the argument in the petition letter drafted by us.
With abundant experience working with clients in virtually all fields of expertise, we are well equipped to handle every circumstance that might arise when filing an I-140 immigration petition. We truly appreciate our client for trusting us with the preparation of his EB-1A and for giving us an opportunity to be a part of his success story.
