Another exceptional client that Chen Immigration Law Associates had the pleasure of working with is a research system scientist from Korea working in the field of computer science. This client wished to continue her research dedicated cybersecurity issues, trust management, human security interfaces, and trust infrastructures for the Internet. We at Chen Immigration Law Associates demonstrated that her continued employment in the field would not only benefit those in her field, but the citizens of the United States at large. To achieve success in this case, we submitted extensive documentation proving our client’s highly significant contributions to the field of computer science, including 12 peer-reviewed scientific articles published in leading journals and conference papers, eight of which are first-authored. This is an admirable record compared to that of her peers. Of her accomplishments, one of the independent recommenders remarked: “In my experienced opinion, [the Petitioner] is an outstanding researcher, in fact one of the foremost young scientist working in her field of endeavor today. She has already contributed an impressive amount of universally important work and is sure to continue that trend over the course of her career.” Through extensive documentation, we at Chen Immigration Law Associates successfully argued that our client would serve the national interest to a significantly greater degree than others with similar education and experience. Her NIW application was approved in just 12 weeks.
