Case Summary:

Exactly 5 months and 6 days after North America Immigration Law Group (WeGreened.com) filed an EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) petition on behalf of a business analyst from China, the USCIS approved her case. Based in Florida, our client has two doctoral degrees and extensive experience conducting research in the field of computer engineering. Her work has led to various impressive achievements, most of which were detailed in her EB-1A petition packet. Here are some of the petition’s main points:

  • We noted our client’s 20 peer-reviewed journal articles and 8 conference papers. We proved that her articles were published in prestigious scientific journals and available to researchers all around the world.
  • Our client’s citation record was also noted: at the time of filing, her work had gathered 158 citations.
  • Furthermore, we listed the whopping 80 times she assessed the work of her peers. It is no secret that only the best of the best are invited to judge the work of others, and our client’s noteworthy record speaks volumes of her high standing in the field of computer engineering.
Besides research-oriented achievements, we also included six recommendation letters signed by other influential members of the field, all of whom are professors. According to one of them, our client’s “… absence would be sure to cause serious setbacks in advances for technologies that are imperative to the operations of these federal agencies, and for the many other technologies to which her work is relevant.” These professors also discussed our client’s research on data mining and machine learning.

As we were able to demonstrate to the USCIS that our client’s work is important to the US (in terms of applications such as facial recognition, motion detection, and prediction of extreme weather as well as its damages), they were persuaded to approve our client’s EB-1A petition. We congratulate her on this accomplishment and wish her the best as she adjusts her status for permanent residence by filing an I-485 application.
